I am a biological and adoptive mom to five children ranging in age from 13 to 23 and wife to a great husband of 25 years. My life revolves around family, homeschooling, frugal living and learning to enjoy everyday as a gift from God. I want to be transparent in both the trials and blessings, not for my glory by God's. My heart's desire is to encourage other women to serve faithfully in their homes, loving their husbands and children, cherishing and recording the journey no matter the challenges.

Fear and Love
I am grateful to all you ladies who shared your similar fears and how you face them and conquer them each day. I know that fear is not of God and "there is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love." I John 4:18 (The Message). Yet I believe being investigated threw me into PTSD symptoms of my own and I will battle these just as my children battle their own traumas. Transparency has its own risks of rejection, suspicion, judgment, disapproval and discrimination. I pray we will all continue to "put it out there" to educate those who are ignorant. Blogging has become a source of "strength in numbers" for me and has forged relationships that I cherish. Blog on, ladies!
