Our goals for this blog.

So this will be my third blog I’ve started.  I pray I can keep it going, and give something of value to anyone to decides to read this.  This is my goal, or desire, or prayer. 

I want to become more dependent upon Jesus Christ, and be a strong follower of his word.  To do that, I need to quit my job and stay home with my daughter, and be a manager of my home.  I want to be more sufficient upon what we can make with our own two hands, or the hands of someone we know and trust.  I want to love my family more, and be a better wife to my husband who is an incredibly patient man and deserves so much more than I can give. 

I want to learn, fail, learn some more and perfect the skills God has given to us in order to survive.  I believe that we are to worship Him in all we do- even our failures.  Because He owns them, He owns my heart and the hearts of the members of my family.  I want to be humble, and learn from others, even if they don’t necessarily know more than I do.  I want to be gracious and patient with my husband and children, as God has taught us to be through his graciousness and patience with me and all of my sometimes incredibly stupid decisions. 

I want to build a home from the ground up with our bare hands (or as much as we can) for our family to dwell.  And for our children to come home to when they’re grown and out of the house.  I want a family environment that gives our children the desire to come back to when they need it, and even when they don’t. 

I want to write this all down as my journal to look back and learn from, and actually stick to it. And the few readers I pick up along the way will hopefully learn from it too.  Or Perhaps give me insight to where I went wrong with my sourdough, or how to grow better tomatoes.  The possibilities are endless.

This is my desire, that if you, reading this find comfort in my words, and a calling to follow Jesus that it be a blessing to you.
