You guys rock!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love blogging?  You guys totally made my day when you stopped by and made me smile with all of your comments yesterday!  Thank you so much!  I was especially excited to get some new visitors to my blog (It was nice to hear from you!) and also a comment from my Hubby's Tia Grace, who read my post on my Facebook.  I started importing my blog on Facebook the other day so that it will be easy to catch my blog updates there.  Since several people in our family do Facebook, it's become a great way to share what's going on with us even if they don't do the blogging thing.

So I'm sure you guys are wondering which spelling we ended up going with.  I'm going to be a stinker and talk about that tomorrow, so that I can pick the winner of my little giveaway and do it all on one post.  I'll also share a little bit about my Hubby just in case you're wondering why I don't ever mention his name or wonder if I even let him have an opinion. :)  I'm definitely the more outspoken one between the two of us, but he definitely has his say so around here too!

Another thing I wanted to mention really quickly  is how neat it was to read that several people also shared some of same resolutions I posted about last week.  It got me thinking about how most of us really are in the same place in our lives in two really big areas:  Making more time for the Lord and our Hubbies.  It got me thinking too about how we really are blessed to be a part of this big circle of blogging friends to help encourage and be there for one another.  Even in the little things, it's nice to know that you have someone there to help keep you accountable to do the things you set out to do and stick with it.

Yesterday morning, I decided I'd try to start fresh and picked up a devotional my mom had given me a while back.  I've never been too good at consistently using devotionals, but I thought I could at least read one entry and then go find the verse in my Bible that it referenced.  I really want to read my Bible more, but I'm not too sure just where to start.  In all honesty, even as a former Pastor's kid, I really know very little about the Bible.  My desire really is to dig deep into God's word and arm myself with what I know will give me strength when I need to get through life's challenges.

Well, today I've got lots of things running through my mind about some new things I can blog about.  Like I've metioned before, I love having the blog as an outlet to share what's on my mind, but I was just wondering, is there anything more that can be done?  I would love to be a part of something we can do together to lift each other up.  My friend Veronnica mentioned last week that it might be fun to do something on our blogs where we share something in the Bible we're reading and how it's ministered to us.  I was even thinking it might be kinda neat to touch on other topics that many of us face, like fear or faith.  I'm far from an expert, but I do love to talk and I know lots of you out there have stuff you might have to share too.  Let me know what you think.  I really would love to hear what you have to say!
