Joyful, Patient, and Faithful

Here it goes! For several years I have (on & off) considered blogging. On many an occasion I would decide to go for it, and then discouragement would creep up inside of me and convince me I was wasting my time. You know, the no one cares what is going on in your boring life voice that lives in so many of us? Yes, that discouragement! So, with the start of a new year and the impending start of a new life for me and my children (more on that later) there is no time better than the present to begin this online journal of sorts. I pray that through my journey and the journey of this blog, I am able to touch the lives of individuals who I would have otherwise not been in contact.
