I do not write this blog because I have it all figured out--I simply share from the little bit God has given me, and that is often tinged with my own imperfect personality. I wasn't born with a burning desire to have a large family. I only knew from an early age that I wanted to please God in every way, and I also knew from an early age just how impossible it was to do that.
But a kind man shared with me at the tender age of 12 that Jesus carried all the burden of my failures, sin, on the cross--I felt such relief and joy I almost burst!
Every since then it has been Jesus and me all the way--even though sometimes things get a little challenging. I have begun to understand God for the awesome Father and Creator He is, although I am sure I will never, ever totally comprehend Him.
Having loads of children has just been an expression of the center part of my life. Pregnancy, childbirth, and child-raising (homeschooling) are all a part of His plan for me, and the circumstances He has used to hone me and to grow me up.
I share here in this little space from the things that occur to me as I am walking out this life. I don't pretend to be an expert for anyone other than myself (I don't even feel qualified to be an expert for myself--God is my "expert").
If you want to know what keeps this blog ticking, it is my dear husband. He takes my rough drafts that I often write in haste and cleans them and perfects them so that they are more readable. I can't count how many times I have wanted to give it all up, but he has encouraged me to continue, and has taken a lot of the work on himself so I could continue to live out all the things I talk about in my blog.
