If its true that babies learn more in the first year of life than the whole rest of their lives, I submit that the second most productive year of a persons life in terms of lessons learned is the first year of married life. In a way this seems so obvious. After all we are learning to talk a new language, walk a new direction, our old life quickly fades the to the new one.
Recently, while reflecting on lessons learned during the transfer process of single/independent life to married family woman life, I came to the realization that I can (and should) strive to be the best wife/mother/homemaker/business owner/friend/woman/christian I can be AND doing so does not mean I lose myself in the process. God created me fearfully and wonderfully in his image and although I am a work in progress he made me specific and unique. He hand picked my strengths as well as my weaknesses and its OK for me to use the personality He gave me and be myself without feeling guilty about it.
I feel like this blog is a scrapbook of sorts with verses that get me through the tough times, people who make me smile, stories that make me laugh, hints and tips that make my life easier... or just something interesting enough to me I don't want to forget it.
October 9, 2010 I married the love of my life Brad and started the journey to find out what God had in store for me as a Christian wife.
January 5,2012 I gave birth to our daughter Reagan and began learning what a godly mothers life looked like for me.
Now I have a wonderful family and I pray everyday God will make me the wife/mother/woman my family deserves.
Simply put
I'm one Blessed woman!
