Starting things off...

Well, I guess I'll get right down to it. As I said in my first post, which has now been almost two months ago, I'm not good at just doing the things that I plan to do! So here I am planning away and finally, I'm going to do things because I'm going to blog about it.
Blogs are funny. I find myself reading blogs once in awhile and hard as I try, I still compare myself to this blog mom or that blog mom and I just never quite measure up. So I'll be as real as I can be here. Yes, I want to inspire but I do not want anyone to compare themselves to me and think that I have it all together because I can assure you, I most certainly do not! You'll be seeing the full extent of that in the coming weeks.
So, here's my idea- my grand entrance into the blogosphere shall be a blog challenge for organizationally challenged woman! I am that woman! I'm desperate to get my stuff in order, at least somewhat. God reminds me daily that I will never be in control, of which I'm very grateful! And honestly, that's not what I want, I just want a little more peace in my life and in my family's life. I have no idea how long this challenge will be, but I'm getting some fun ideas and I'm motivated!
Tomorrow is the last day of this precious year and the next day begins the fresh, new year! I will be going through my food firstly, cleaning out the fridge, freezer and cupboards, after that I'd like to stock up on some things and do some cooking for the freezer so that I actually have some time to get organized! There's nothing like working on a project and having to stop 8,000 times to cook this and bake that! So, that's a start. More thoughts and ideas later. Meanwhile reflect on your year and move forward with boldness and excitement into this next!

A Vision and a Calling

Welcome to my humble space of ramblings and thoughts. I'm so happy to have you here. I've been following a few blogs for a couple of years now and have wanted to have my own for quite some time. I think what holds me back is my struggle with having all of the other things done before I move onto what is truly in my heart to do. There are always to-do lists and chores that are never fully accomplished and really, that is why I need to do this. I am a real woman with the same struggles that other young mothers face and I need this place to be honest, to be accountable, to be encouraged and to do the same for you as well.

For almost 7 years I have been pursuing a calling that God placed on my life at age 17. Ultimately that mission is to minister to women and to encourage being set apart for our Heavenly Bridegroom. I view this blog as a place to continue in my pursuit of that vision.

I'm excited for this journey and I can't wait to see the perfect designs of our Master Weaver in the tapestry of hope. Blessings, Sarah
