I have been putting off getting back to my blog for 2 months now. Wow!  I cannot think of how I want to start.  I decided to wait till after the first of the year and say exciting things about a new start, but it's been 3 days....it is all jumbled in my head. I really have no idea what is going to come out as I type this, but here goes...

My first blog entry was all about family.  My sister had brought my parents down for a week and it was wonderful. Filled me with thanks and awareness of the blessing of family.  I could go on again with that same theme tonight.  Christmas just over and all my kids here again...I would love to tell you about my awesome kids and grandkids! 

Maybe I am trying too hard to get everything in at once.  

I am praying God will help me to be faithful to this. I am hoping to start with once a week. Would love to do every day, but I know me and it won't happen.  I've tried so many many times over the years to journal..Don't know how many half-filled ones I have..

Have you made a new year's resolution? I have never really done that. It would be forgotten about after a few weeks.  Have you ever thought about asking God to help you do something in the next year? Be a little, or a lot, different?  Feel different?  Accomplish something?  

  I have asked His help in my relationship with...and here I sit...wondering..do I really type in who??? should I put it out there for all to see??  there are some who will judge...do I care??  some who will completely understand and cheer me on...some who will not understand why I care about this..

My goal for this blog is to be God honoring, to be honest, to share the love of Jesus with anyone who happens by to read what I've written. I hope to be encouraging, faithful and even to maybe help others in their walk with the Lord. 

So in order to honor God, I am not at this time going to share who this person is with you. I would not want to cause hard feelings. 

Would you pray for me though? Pray that I will listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and obey quickly when it comes to this relationship. Pray that I will allow my heart to be softened and filled with love for this person. 

Well, I think that is all for tonight.  For anyone who reads this I pray that you have a good night's sleep, and that tomorrow you will be filled with God's love for those He has placed in your life. 

Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself."
