Entering the Blogosphere

So, after surfing the web and finding all kinds of fun, interesting blogs, I decided I would give this thing a try. Bear in mind, I am (ahem...was) a MATH teacher...hence, writing is not usually my thing. Now that I am a stay-at-home mom, however, I think this will be the perfect outlet for me. You see, it is quite an adjustment to go from working full-time (and I mean full-time...you never get a break as a teacher...) to being at home all day with a baby and a cat, in a state where you know about 5 people, watching HGTV all day long. QUITE AN ADJUSTMENT. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE being able to stay home and take care of my daughter, but I was beginning to feel a little useless. I mean, what am I doing here? Is this it now? I just take care of a baby all day, everyday? Surely God has bigger plans for me than that? The only place I have found to serve at our church is the nursery, because I can take my daughter with me (duh.). That's not how it's supposed to be. I am supposed to be teaching awkward, hormonal high schoolers, serving as a fun D-Now leader, going on life-changing missions trips, giggling with pre-teens as the responsible camp counselor. I can't do any of that now. Who would take care of my baby? Who would feed her??

So here I am. Trying to find ways to get out there and meet new people, and share the love of Christ in new ways. I may not be able to be 100% involved in every church function, or go on week-long trips, or host a bunch of crazy-hyper high school girls for the weekend, but I can share all the amazing things Christ has done in my life and our family's innumerable blessings, here, on this blog. And maybe, just maybe, someone will read it. Maybe. Hopefully.
