First Entry
Figured I would give this blogging thing a try. I'm not here to get on a soapbox, just to offer thoughts and feelings. Ideas and pet peeves (driving-challenged people) and offer a view of my savior, Jesus Christ.
Life has dealt me a number of blows from childhood til now. The most recent being the death of my mother. Our relationship, well, it sucked. I can say that because it was my relationship with her and it is the truth. I probably will write alot about her as well as how her death has affected me(and boy has it ever affected me).
I am well aware that everyone out there deals with dysfunction in their lives. Some have more than others. However, I'm not willing to go on Jerry Springer and majority that do shouldn't.
I'm 36 years old, a mother of two, a wife, owner of two dogs, a federal employee and a child of God.
I am not superior to anyone and am capable of mistakes and often make them! I hold myself accountable and responsible for myself and my actions and believe very strongly that others should do the same.
I believe in disciplining my children (if you don't like it, lump it, or, as the cast of Happy Days would say, SIT ON IT!) and I believe in natural consequences to one's actions. For example, if you get pregnant, guess what, you are going to become a parent and there will be no whining. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
I've struggled long and hard through life. Nothing comes easy and nothing in life is free (thank you for that lesson, Dad). But having Jesus as my Savior enables me to make it through anything and everything in my life.
People and their behavior fascinate me. I love forensics but please don't bother me with CSI crap. I'm in it for the real stuff not the stuff Hollywood dumps on us. I don't curse except in extreme situations when one will occasionally slip.
I do not condone nor encourage unfaithfulness in any relationship. If you are committed (legal or not) you are committed and have no business being unfaithful, body, mind, or spirit.
I have a quick tongue and it is dangerous. I work hard to keep it in check. As the Bible states, it is a two edged sword. It is hurtful and believe me when I say mine has caused pain. I am not proud of that fact. I am changing. I am a work in progress. Always. I slip. I fall. I get up. I seek forgiveness and I will do whatever it takes to make things right.
I abhor dishonesty and prefer honesty even if it hurts.
I have alot I want to talk about. This isn't necessarily here for anyone else but me. It's more of a journal than anything. If someone gets something out of it, that is wonderful. That would be an answer to a prayer. I am open to questions, so please ask. I process things in my life by discussing them. I don't mind questions at all. It helps. It brings back memories. It brings understanding and sometimes answers. Sometimes it creates more questions.
Most of all, please remember that I love Jesus. He loves you. I respect Him and I must require that all who post a comment be respectful of Him here in my blog.
