Don't Call It a Come Back...

This morning, I found my way to considering blogging again. And within that thought, was the choice to either start a new blog, or continue on this one. After all, I've always done it for the memories for myself, and my kids, and then maybe to share a few ideas, stories, whatever...along the way. But, my life has changed incredibly since the last time I posted here. May 2011. Wow. Things have been broken down, twisted around, and now I'm striving to find my way back to the life I had in these posts and pictures before.

I had a whole first post planned, and still do.  But as I was waiting for the page to load (my WiFi is crazy slow today),  a feeling of fear, and uneasiness crept through me. A lump in my throat, that feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn't want to see or read how good and how simple things were back then. And to be honest, I haven't read it. I scrolled quickly threw the first few posts, and left it at that... 

This blog is going to take a little bit of a turn for a bit, and by the grace of God, maybe one day, it can be back to the happy baby, happy wife, awesome vacation posts as it was before. In the mean time, I'm hoping for it to be a little therapeutic and helpful to all that read along the way as I'm going to speak about my renewed faith in God, and the steps I've taken to find my way back to him, through the chaos and fog of the past year. And to be honest, I don't want to get into all that's happened the past 14 months, instead I want to look ahead and leave out all the sad details so that I can replace them with a more positive outlook. 

This year instead of resolving to finally get it right, I resolve to walk with Him as he makes it right. 
Instead of determining to get better, I determine to get closer to Him through his Word. 
Instead of making a list of all that I will do on my own, I will notice all that He is already doing and will join Him in it. 

Thank you God for a fresh start this year, and an everlasting fresh start in Jesus Christ.
(Borrowed a bit from She Reads Truth)

So, real quick like...since they are still my pride and joy, and of course always will be. A few little happy baby posts. Only my babies are 5 and 3 years now, with the 5 year old being in Kindergarten.
