On the road to blogging life

So, it has been about a year since I have added anything on here. Of course, I have the best of reasons, three of them! Ava. Stella. Naomi. Now the youngest is almost one! Tuesday is the big day. I have plenty of material for our blog, just finding the right time to give to it will be the challenge. Everyday I have a whole post written in my head it seems, but it quickly floats out and to where they have gone, I have no idea.
My goal is to now add something here at least five days a week. It might be just a quick what I am thankful for, a funny picture, quote, or discussion we have had here at home. I guess I say that to warn you if you are reading this that it might not be entertaining to you. Which, a side note, I don't know where this blogging desire comes from, because it is kinda like a journal and I don't do much journaling. I don't because I don't want anyone READING it...somehow it is ok for the whole world to have access to this though??? Another warning: sometimes I don't make sense and you will just have to live with that on here.
Enough disclaimers. Today I am so thankful for those three reasons I haven't been blogging for the last year. Yes, they are work and I sacrifice a lot of me for them, but that is why it is so great. The challenge of giving my life away without getting my selfishness in the way is an ongoing battle within me. God has been great this last month in helping me in that area. Plus coming out of baby land has done wonders for my body. A LOT less physical pain, less hormones going up and down daily, more sleep, rational thinking, or just plain old THINKING are all things that have been a welcome return! Now I am thankful for my challenges and "suffering". It has just begun to give me the sight for compassion to flow out of me more. It reminded me of the verse with all the comforts in it. Lets see, what is that...2 Corn 1:3-4 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. Yes, I have definitely been on the receiving end of comfort from God! It feels like I am rambling from one subject to the next, so I will just pick some pictures to post with this. Happy Day!
