It's time to start blogging again. In a slightly different direction. I am becoming increasingly aware of the importance of transparent living, for a variety of reasons. So it is here that I will attempt to be transparent. That doesn't mean I'm going to detail every disagreement Ryan and I have (admission 1 in being transparent: our marriage is not perfect) or every temper tantrum one of my children throws. But I do have struggles, I definitely do not have it all together, and maybe, just maybe, some of that is worth sharing. I also want to share the victories and the joys. I need to document the journey.
Which brings me back to where the heart of this blog is: my journey. God has me on one incredible journey, and I am doing my best to keep to His path and not the one I might choose for myself. I am finding motherhood to be the mirror by which God shows me that which He wants to change in me. We look in the mirror each morning or before we leave the house or whenever, and we see things we want to change -- hair out of place, dark circles that need some makeup, something stuck between our teeth. God is showing me that my children and being a mother is His mirror for my life. Through them, He is showing me the things He wants to change. Unfortunately, God's changes aren't always as simple or as painless as a hairbrush or a piece of dental floss. But they are far more important. And so I record my journey from who I am toward the woman God wants me to be.
