Explanation:
Deuteronomy 6: 6-9 says “And these words, which I command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy
children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when
thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign
upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of
thy house, and on thy gates.” Now this
is pretty much our life verse. There are
others, but I can go into that at another time.
As far as the Romans 7 part: verse 15 says “For that which I do I allow
not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.” So basically what I mean by this is that my
heart has the best of intentions for being a wonderful wife and mother, but I
have the hardest time living this out!
I have been told by many people that I am so
“real”. They seem to mean this as a
compliment, but I find that there aren’t that many other “real” people out
there. I understand the “power of
positive confession” and the value of sharing the positive things you’ve
learned for the benefit of others, but I am feeling like God wants to use my
“real-ness” to bless others in perhaps a unique way.
It is my goal here to be open about my (and
sometimes my family’s) victories AND failures.
My life seems to be filled with so many ups and downs. I think most people’s are. So hopefully you can relate to this roller
coaster we are on. I pray that a glimpse
into our crazy, sometimes busy, sometimes a little monotonous life will be a
blessing to any who happen to read about it.

I dont know if you have ready any of my blog, When you say "real" for me I get "transparent". I have shared a lot of things that most people would never dream of sharing. Personally it helps me to put my mistakes out there and say this is what I have learned. Also I am willing to say this is whats going on and I need help Im at a loss. Again most people dont seem to be willing to do that. So its you and me sister :) I really wish I could be the perfect wife, and parent it just doesnt seem to work out that way, but I guess this way God gets to use me and my mistakes!
