I've been thinking a lot about this poor abandoned blog of mine. Honestly, I've been on Facebook more often than I should be. I've been thinking about closing this blog but just can't find the heart to do it.
After a recent trip back to California, I was able to talk to lots of my friends who are now young moms or moms with more young children and I come to realize that God has given me such a burden to minister to them. Not just my sisters on the mainland but those here on the island as well. I remember going through so many ups and downs as a young mom, as many of us do, and thinking, "How in the world do these moms do it?" By the way (BTW), I still say that and I probably will keep saying that as my kids get older and our lives change.
We had a Mom's Club back in our old church in Cali and I've got to tell you how much it ministered to me. Just to be under those godly women, encouraging us moms how to love the Lord with all our heart and be managers of our home without going crazy along the way really helped to give me a godly perspective to my purpose as a mother and wife. I would love to share little bits and pieces of what God taught me through those mom's clubs.
So instead of closing my blog, I want to encourage my mom friends with real life experiences, tips, how to's. There will be times I'll post things that "Really worked" and things that "Oh well, didn't work but it's OK". I'll share encouragements through the Bible and also some struggles I'm having. I want to be real as I possibly can.
I hope that those who read, if any, will find encouragement. And if not, at least I'll have an archive for my own children to look back on.

Psalm 116: 1-9
I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"
The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
