Starting a blog has been on my mind for quite awhile; to be exact almost 3 years now. I wanted to start one when Tommy was born, mainly to help the grandparents keep in touch with the grand kids, and so I could remember all the cute things he did. Every time I thought about signing up all my insecurities would surface and I'd be too scared to even check into it! What if I wasn't funny, what if no one read my blog, what if I misspelled words or wrote incorrectly, what if everyone thought I was lame, what if everyone figures out I'm not the perfect wife and mother? I've always heard it "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." After that pep talk, it's no wonder I never signed up!
Recently though, it's been on my mind more and more. Maria Wesley (another missionary wife and blogger) stayed with us recently and really encouraged me to start blogging; then my husband pulled up this site and got to the part where you choose a blog name. When he called me into the office to ask me what I'd like my blog to be named, I was so scared that I just shook my head and walked out. Then I heard someone make the comment that "There will always be a million reasons NOT to do something," and realized I just needed to take a chance. No, I'm not perfect (as much as I would love to be!) and not everyone will like me. You will soon realize that I am struggling to be a good Christian and good wife and good mother. But I am growing and learning and giving God the glory along the way! Welcome to our life, A Wonderful Adventure!
