Yesterday, after I dropped off two of my stallions to church (no, I didn't skip, we all went the night before), I did a new-normal ritual and stopped at Starbucks. I needed some study time for a group of middle school kids for later that night. And with a half-caf Americano, I had my ahh-haa moment.
Why not start today? So, sitting there with a new laptop my husband got me for Christmas (he's thoughtful in that way), I sat there listening to Bohemian rap and I began to write. So if the writing is hard to decipher, we can blame it on the rap music...or we could blame it on the man sitting next to me who was wanting to discuss how much the barista's loud voice drowned out the music...or we could blame it on me wanting to cut out caffiene and going half-caf and the blood to my brain was not fully flowing yet...because it wouldn't be that this is all new and I'm not very good yet.
So that's how I started. Yesterday, March 1, 2009 I posted my first blog and now it hangs out there in cyber space somewhere. It's important that you know how I started and it's important that you know where I started.
But why I started is most important. And this is why:
to inspire girls everywhere in their journey to live life fully, freely and fearlessly
to passionately pursue an intimate relationship with God
to be all that He has called us to be as women, wives, and mothers
to embrace our children (and other people's children) with great joy
to nurture others in a way only a mother can and to protect and guard of our children's hearts
to challenge our sons and daughters to live with courage and faith
to inspire them to dream about how they can change the world in which they live and
to draw them into a deeply personal intimate relationship with their Savior Jesus Christ.
Let's dream and inspire others to do so...over a cup of coffee, or tea or my healthy friends, barley green.
Wow, love the stories!! Things I didn't know... Debra
