Soul Searching
Oh how wonderful it would be if I were an eloquent and inspirational writer like Angie from Bring the Rain, but I'm not. I do however have some thoughts about milestones in my life and this country. (Check my blog list for Angie at Bring the Rain, I don't know how to make it link there for you). So please keep reading if you can follow my rambling. :-)
I was raised in a Baptist home, but as I got older church was my choice. So I didn't go unless I wanted to. I never felt comortable there either. Then I met a great guy, who happened to be Catholic. What a change from my Baptist services. It took a long time for me to figure out Mass. I even stopped going for a while. But soon came back, because it was important for Jay and I to be in church together. Then, finally after 10 years in the Catholic church, I decided to become Catholic. My faith has really grown since I decided to actually join the Catholic Church. No, you don't have to be Catholic to get to Heaven, but this works for me.
Despite the fact that I am not the "model Christian woman" , I do believe and trust that our Lord is in control of it all. The good and the bad. I should pray more and read the Bible more, but despite these short comings I feel closer to him than I ever have. I look at my boys and can't believe that the Lord has entrusted these little men to Jason and I. It's overwhelming at times, but such a blessing. I pray that we can raise them to be noble Christian men.
I will be turning 30 in March. In my 30 years the Lord has blessed me so!! Great family, wonderful husband (most of the time;), healthy beautiful boys, jobs, a home, a car, and the list goes on. But as 3o draws near I'm finally finding myself after all these years.
I don't feel like I'm defined by my insecurities anymore. Although, I am very self concious about my size, I finally realized that doesn't define me! For the first time in my life I believe in myself. So much that I have decided to run my very first half marathon. The Country Music Marathon in Nashville, April 25th! This is a very personal journey for me. Do pray for me, please?
Now, for our Country! Today is such a milestone for our Country! I am very torn about all of this. I did not vote for Pres. Obama. I couldn't in good concious vote for him, because of his stance on abortion and other issues. However, I'm not totally against his economic policies or his commitment to ending the war. I pray that he lets the Lord lead him as he leads our Great Nation!!
I suppose that's enough rambling for today! It is such therapy to write or should I say type it all down.
Till later,
Mel

Bored....
Just sitting at home on a Saturday night. The big boys are at the Redneck Monster Truck show, and me and the little man are at home. Little man is in the bed and the house is really quiet. I keep up with some blogs and decided to see if this is something I'm able to keep up with. I like reading everybody else's. So, well, I did it. Here goes!!!!
