I've been reading many blogs over the past couple of days. Most have been looking at past blog posts, summing up the year that has been, choosing the 'best', or 'most popular' posts.
I have had a website and blogs in the past but because they focused on a particular interest, like gardening or quilting, depending on the season or what was happening in my life, I didn't post often enough to retain interest, either from readers or myself.
So today....the first day of 2015....I begin this new blog. This to encompass my whole life - faith, interests, family - the things that bring me joy as well as those that cause me pain. My aim is to live in the 'more than'.
I'm a wife, mother, grandmother ....but before all else I am a child of God. I am loved, forgiven and recognise that my heavenly Father has so much more for me than I could ever hope or imagine. Every day is a new day...the past is gone...we can't change it; the future is not within our grasp. We have now, today, this moment to make a difference both in our own lives and the lives of others.
So although I'm not one for making New Year resolutions, my intention for today and every day is to find ways to encourage and bless others; to live gratefully for I am so blessed; to do the best I can with what I have been given.
Should you choose to share my journey, then I hope you'll be encouraged by this ordinary woman who seeks to trust more, live better and love till it hurts.
