My First Blog!

My girls are wanting to "blog".....so I'm the guinea pig! I'm trying to decide--is this like facebook--a random sharing or thoughts/ideas, or is it more like a journal to capture our life?! We'll see. I couldn't think of a blog title (that wasn't already taken).....so I decided to get my hymnal and open it up and see which song title would pop up...now, I can't say that this was the FIRST title...actually, the first song was "Without Him"....a lovely song, but not so good for a blog title...followed by "Lord, I'm Coming Home"....again, not so good....but the third time is a charm....and what an appropriate song title for MY life!! "This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found." Luke 15:24

Something beautiful, something good; all my confusion He understood.

All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, but He made something beautiful of my life.

~Gloria Gaither

I often feel so inadequate as a mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and most of all as a child of God....but God created my "innermost being" and "knows every hair on my head". IF I will give him space in my heart and allow him to be LORD of my life, HE can take the inadequacies, the selfishness, the brokenness, and sin and transform it into "something beautiful, something good"!! My prayer for my life and my family's is that we will daily put Christ first and allow him to transform us! One of my favorite praise songs says, "Take my life--and form it. Take my mind--transform it--take my will--conform it--to yours, to yours, O Lord. Holiness, holiness is what I long for."
