Starting.... fresh? New? Again?

Over the years I have drifted in and out of blog writing.  I've used it to vent frustrations, brag about my kids, to write down things I'd like to remember but know I will forget otherwise and at times to share the things God has put on my heart.  I'm not sure what direction my writing will take this time, and I've decided that instead of trying to focus this blog in one direction, I will follow where my heart is leading on any given day.  So if you choose to follow my blog, you might want to be prepared for a bit of everything. Hope you enjoy the ride! Here is what life looks like right now.  Today I have not left the couch if I could help it.  I am 19 weeks pregnant and have a horrible cold.  The boys watched too much tv this morning, and all I've really done today is make sure they have food to eat, changed a few diapers, picked up Grace from school, stopped at the store for more tissues, and watched a couple old episodes of Grey's Anatomy on my laptop w

I think it's been at least a year since I posted on this blog, but there is so much on my mind lately that I feel the need to revisit this old blog, dust off the cobwebs, and begin again. God has been challenging me lately as only He can. Stretching my world views, changing my heart toward the lost, lonely, needy people of this world, my world. I'm reading two challenging books right now, by two amazing women. The first I'm almost finished with (and it's a good thing since it's due back at the library!). It's called Kisses from Katie , by Katie Davis. You can find her blog here: http://kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com/2012/03/april-2011-sometimes-my-16-passenger.html She is amazing. She left behind a comfy life here in America and moved to Uganda, adopted 14 girls and started a non profit to help meet the needs of those around her living in desperate poverty, sickness and disgusting living conditions. The thing that God is pressing into my heart right now

Not Me! Monday!

Inspired by this blog over here, I have decided to once again join in on her "Not me! Monday!" posting. She posts "Are you feeling guilty for pretending to be asleep in the morning so your husband will get up and feed the baby? Overcome with shame because upon some guests' arrival, you stuffed your dirty laundry into an empty drawer? Well don't be! Not Me! Monday was born out of my desire to admit some of my imperfections and reveal a few moments I'd rather forget. You may find it therapeutic to join in and do the same thing!" So here's my own Not me! Monday! post for you all to enjoy and laugh at me for. I don't have much to post about, because I definitely did not leave my laundry piling up, dishes overflowing in the sink, and the kitchen floor badly in need of sweeping in favor of sitting in bed and watching a movie last night. And I'm certainly not ignoring it all STILL in favor of sitting on my butt in front of the computer right now.

Lightroom

So a couple of weeks ago I downloaded a trial version of Adobe's Lightroom. Now every chance I get I sit at my computer drooling over what it can do editing my pictures. SO amazing, let me just tell you. So when I went to one of my favorite blogs and realized she was having a giveaway for a free copy of this $300 program I was extremely excited. Head on over there yourself for a copy to win!
