Actually, that isn't right - the story started 40+ years ago in a small community in north Georgia on a cold, rainy, early December day but, you REALLY don't want me to start there. So then, the question is where to start?
From the beginning? Nah - too long ago.
From the middle? Nah - too confusing.
I guess I will simply start with - right now. Today is, Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 and I have officially launched my own personal blog titled "born as a family..."
Weird title I know but so appropriate for my life. Hopefully over the next little while I'll have the opportunity to share all of the stories I have locked up in my head but at this time, we will simply start with....now.
I'm getting ready to send my son off to 6th grade and he is so excited and that makes me GLAD! You see, my son is God's gift to my husband and I. Infertility robbed us of the opportunity to become birth parents to a child but God gave us the opportunity to be 2nd parent's to a BEAUTIFUL boy......... "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy" - oh sorry, I slipped into a John Lennon moment there :D
Anyway, "The Boy" as we shall call him for the duration, is excited for one simple reason. What might that reason be? I'm glad you asked! See, when I asked "The Boy" why he was excited I pictured all kinds of responses, "it's middle school", "it's a fresh start", "it's changing classes", etc., etc., etc. SILLY ME!!!! He's excited because there are lockers.........
So, if you tuned in, welcome to my little life and I look forward to our adventures together. I'll leave you with this thought, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:6
p.s. I love music! I love to sing it, listen to it, dance to it, whatever so, from time to time I'll be sharing what music I am currently listening to.
SONG LIST FOR TODAY:
"Free To Be Me" - Francesca Battistelli - "My Paper Heart" on Fervant Records
"The Motions" - Matthew West - "Something To Say" on Sparrow Records
About Me
- ...finally "The Mom"
- So, what do I say? I suppose you would LOVE to know EVERYTHING cause that's just how I roll but you will have to make do with this..... I'm just starting out in my 40's and loving every minute of it. I am a first time mom, not of my flesh, but definitely of my heart and loving every minute of it. I am NOT a new, blushing bride - married life = 20+ years and loving every minute of it. I started out life as a daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend and, although the titles have changed through the years I guess you could say, I'm still just me...
