Blog on!

When the topic of blogging comes up .....boy do I get excited?  Where else can a word junkie like me have such a spectacular outlet?  For weeks, no months, I fantasized about the great American blog written by none other than ME!  And yet I have yet to accomplish anything more than a blogger site and a few weak attempts as writing something with no real interest to anyone other than......well..... no one.   


If you follow me on Facebook ( and you can do this only if we are friends ) then you know I'm opinionated, and have the confidence in expressing my thoughts.  But following me also gives you a cryptic look into my world without a real clue as to who or what I am spouting off about.  My goal with my blog is to avoid the cryptic status and address topics while opening up discussions and minds.  ( Including mine )


I am a Liberal Conservative ( yea.... I know) 
I am Christian
I am a Mom
I am wife
My favorite color is purple....it used to be green




I want to talk about it all....
I want to have fun with it
I want to laugh at myself
I don't take too much too seriously  ( I'm working on that)


I may have opinions that differ from yours, but I promise I will respect yours and I hope for the same.


I am truly looking forward to this journey with anyone who is ready to ride.


I want to share an occurrence that I have been attempting to share on facebook for days and for some un-explainable reason, I keep deleting and backspacing.  This is one of my God stories.  They aren't usually witty or goofy.... just straight from the heart  :-)


A few days ago my husband received incessant text messages from a someone who was doing everything possible to upset him.  This individual attempted to discredit nearly every member of our family member leaving NO-ONE exempt, with a only one goal in mind; to make themselves look and feel better in the minds of the very few who actually believe the outrageous statements made.


I was getting extremely angry and wanted to verbally eviscerate this person. And when I was through, I wanted to go after the few who are perpetuating the lies.  I had typed and retyped paragraphs to ALL involved literally spewing hate and anger in every direction possible.  " you there living in your glass house throwing bricks  of lies.....blah blah blah...you'll get your in the end....blah blah blah..."  And the final time I was ready to hit "share" Someone stopped me.... I calmed down.... and I started to talk to God.


Dear God,


Please help me refrain from spreading the anger.  Give me the strength to.... wrap your loving arms a little tighter around these people. Help them to know You and accept You into their lives.  I am giving it to You God.   ~Amen


Short and to the point.  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than my original plan.  Though I didn't think so at the time.  I really wanted to tell them off....


But I feel much better doing it God's way.


Thanks for following and blog on!
