I have been thinking a lot lately about the fact that I started a blog with "mommy realities" as my parking space.
This is how I presented me.
This is how I presented
gomommyblogger.
The thing is...sometimes it looks like I am really far
from that agenda.
I love to write about being a mother;
the quirky parts...
the lovely- cuddly parts...
the humorous parts...
even the difficult parts-
because I adore being a momma. I am so thankful to be a mom.
More and more I feel that this blog has become an out-flowing of my heart.
Being a momma is only one portion of that- of my heart.
God has given me so much from which life flows.
Because of this, I have considered changing this blog.
Making it a "Christian" blog.
Something with a great name like: foundbyloveblog. (Found By Love- I "stole" this from the Helser's. *
Find Me*)
And I take these long walks with the Lord and I contemplate these things because they are on my mind and He cares about them, and He cares about me.
And I get to this:
I am a mommy.
I am thankful to share these stories of life with an audience.
And part of my being a mommy -being the best mommy I can- has to do with Who I Am in Jesus.
It is an overflowing.
...into my parenting.
How can I, for instance, remind my children daily that they are Children of God if I am not living my life as a Child of God?
How will they know that is wonderful?
Exciting?
Meaningful?
How will they know that being a Child of God is an amazing and true title of theirs, if I don't reflect the importance and reality of this affirmation?
And I reflect this through my life.
I am a momma.
I am a lover of Jesus.
I am not one or the other, but both, equally, at all times.
I don't suppose I will change this name of my blog.
In some ways, the greater benefit is remaining parked here in "mommyland" where someone who is not a Christian -but is a mommy- may stumble across these words.
May be encouraged.
If there is something here, something you receive from this blog, please continue to share.
Not for the numbers- I wish they didn't exist, or that I could somehow remove them.
My desire is to be content writing for an audience of One.
The One.
Still, I implore you to share, for it is also my desire that the light I hold for Jesus be made brighter.
I am just a simple spark- but I desire to aid the blazing fire.
Let's write out some Hellos:
Hello Mother-in-Love who arrived to day.
Hello introducing her to the Helsers. *sigh*
Hello beautiful rain and mist which accompanied me on my run/walk today.
Hello Lord, Who I delight myself in.
Hello Eyes To See lots of beauty on my travels.
Hello Philipians 2:6. *current Life Verse*
