Anyone who knows me very well, knows that computers are not my forte. I could not live without them however. There are things in my life that they make so much easier and more fun. But I seem to be a bit technologically challenged. It takes me some time and quite a bit of repetition to learn something new on the computer. For quite a while now my mother has been bugging, ok, not really bugging, but just encouraging me to share some of my daily experiences with mothering and raising a family on a blog. My children and husband have been after me as well. I've resisted a little because of my "challenge."
I've always blown off the idea, thinking that I don't have time…and besides, my life is not that interesting or spectacular, but for some reason, now seems to be the time to try it. If nothing else, the writing will be good for me. I've not been the best journal keeper over the years and it saddens me that so many fun and wonderful things have happened that I really don't remember details of. Anyone reading this who is just starting their family - write, write write, and record with pictures and video, as much as you can. Maternal amnesia will eventually kick in and things that you think you will never ever forget, will become just dim memories…..yes, even the day that your sweet little girl ate chocolate syrup for breakfast and then threw up all over Walmart. (That really did happen in our family.)
Writing helps me appreciate the special little things that happen every day. It helps me see miracles and the hand of the Lord in my life. And hopefully I can express to my children and family the joy that I have in partnering with God and my husband in raising righteous children in a home filled with faith.
