I wrote this down in my journal last night before I went to bed. I wasn’t going to put this on here for anyone to see, but I am feeling like I should.

Sometimes I feel like am nailing this parenting thing. Sometimes, okay most times, I feel like I am barely holding on by the skin of my teeth. So when, this past week when everyone was taught a valuable life lesson completely on accident I’m not going to lie, I was impressed, but not with myself.

Can I explain something about God? He is amazing and awesome. He really is. I can’t tell you all the ways in a blog post because it would turn into a novel.

I decided that I wanted to try this whole blogging thing again. I feel like it only makes sense to share what has been going on in my life here.
