Sharing

I have no idea what I am doing with this blog.  I don't know how to get followers or what to write about but I guess that really doesn't matter.  I am doing this blog to learn and to become a better writer.  I would like to have others join me on my journey, through motherhood, homeschooling, living fully yet simply and striving to put God first everyday in every situation. I hope this blog will lead me and others in those areas.

Today I enjoyed spending time with a very special friend. She is just starting her journey in motherhood and I love talking with her as she is experiencing things for the first time.  It brings back such great memories...the feeling of the baby's kicking, falling asleep with my new baby in my arms, the tiny fingers and toes, their smell after a bath.  I also remember being so unsure of what I was doing.  I was 22 when my first baby was born and I look back now amazed at how young I was.  I was scared...what if I did everything wrong?  How am I going to figure this all out and who do I ask my questions...all of my questions seemed so silly.  I wanted someone to walk with me through this and share in my experiences but I didn't know who to go to.

I guess it is like me with this blog.  I feel silly trying to do this but I know that there is a plan in me doing it.  There is a road that God wants me to travel and this is the beginning of it. So, just like my first child, I will try things and they may not work but I won't give up! She made it and is now in college. I am sure I will share a lot about her and the three sisters that followed.

I would also say to all women that we need to share our experiences with each other!  And, no matter what age you are, ask your questions.  They are not silly and somebody will come along side you. This journey is so much better when we share it with each other.  Thank you Lord for the special friends that you have given me, help me to take care of them and help me to be open with new friends that you bring into my life.
