What I mean

So Sandra, you inspired me to write again.  I always say I want to blog and had one about 2 years ago, but never really did anything with it.  It was mostly to update people on my kids and what the family was doing.  But a lot's changed in 2 years.  I went through a divorce.  My kids are older.  My walk with God has become far greater than I ever imagined.  So here I am.  Writing again.  Something that I love to do, yet found no time to do it....until today!

The title--I'm sure you're all wondering, with bated breath, to hear why I chose this!  Well, a couple of reasons.  For those of you who know me and my past or my fears, know I have this enormous fear of flying.  I barely survived a near catastrophic plane crash when I was 11, leaving me scarred for life.  Ok...I'm lying.  ONE engine went out over the ocean, we had to dump fuel (as a precaution) and had an uneventful emergency landing in Canada.  Not really that bad, but when you're 11, it becomes you almost died.  Unfortunately, as I've gotten older, my ridiculous fear has become somewhat melodramatic.  And it's almost comical to listen to me as I prepare for a flight; I've got my Xanax, I pray about 56 times...days leading up to the flight, on the drive to get to the plane, as I'm checking in my bags, as I'm walking on the bridge to get to the plane, on the plane, as we're taking off, as we level off.  You get the idea! 

The other reason I chose that title is simple.  I want my christian impact on my kids to be so great, they have to brace for it because of its power.  I want to show them with my words and actions, just how amazing God is.  How great a walk with God can really be.  How, if you trust Christ to take care of you, His arms will wrap around you so tightly, that even in your darkest hour, you'll still feel the enormous weight of His love.

This blog will be about my 2 fabulous daughters and the amazing things they accomplish.  It'll be about how God is working in our lives.  At times, it may be brutally honest, exposing my weaknesses and greatest heartaches.  At time, it'll probably be more therapy for me than fun for you!  I hope whoever reads it gets something out of it, regardless.  Enjoy!
