Getting Started

So, I am not a huge fan of trends, or trying to keep up with what everyone else is doing, but here I am starting a blog! When I began considering the possibility of posting a blog, I asked my sister if she thought it sounded like I was jumping on the blog bandwagon. I didn’t want to start a blog just to be like everyone else, but I wanted an avenue to share the goings-on of our lives with far away friends and family. A little over a year ago I became a military wife and moved away from the only place I have ever lived and where most of my friends and family were within a 3-hour drive. We were able to see each other often and at least catch up. In the last year, I have made many new friends and watched some of them move away. I realize that there will always be new friends coming into our lives, and old friends moving away. Because of this, I see the benefit of sharing about life. It is encouraging to see how the Lord is working in each other’s lives, and to read about the daily joys and struggles each of us face. I thoroughly enjoy reading their blogs and feel connected to them in that way. So, hopefully I will have something to write about and my hope is that it will be encouraging to anyone who reads this!

1 Thessalonians 5:11 – Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing

Hebrews 10:24-25 – And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as your see the Day drawing near
