This blog has been a place for me to share and write for the last 4 1/2 years. I started writing before blogs were nearly as commonplace as today. It was a place for me to write about our adventures as we moved away from home as newlyweds. We used it to share pics of our kids when they were babies with family hundreds of miles away. Most recently, we have used it to record the adventure God has taken us on the last 2 years to support Bible Translation.
Right now our family direction is changing and this blog will be, too. I believe God is giving me new inspiration and ideas of how to use this blog to go beyond our family. You may have noticed a few new things popping up on my blog recently. Last month I participated in my first blog-hop with Hearts at Home. Its a ministry to moms that has touched me through their books and resources. A friend in Florida gave me "Real Moms, Real Jesus" around the time Lydia was born and changed the way I thought about motherhood. Second, Moments to Remember is a link up with a couple of the homeschool blogs, (1+1+1=1 and Homeschool Creations) that have been great resources to me as I begin to do some learning activities with Lydia. I'm also beginning to write blog posts for OneVerse. I am excited about this because it's an opportunity we can continue to use this blog to raise awareness of the importance and significance of Bible Translation. OneVerse is a project related to Wycliffe, and their goal is to see scripture projects sponsored one verse at a time. It only takes $26 to translate one verse of scripture, which takes the overwhelming needs of Bible Translation around the world, and breaks them down into bite-size chunks. Finally, don't worry, I'll continue to include the adventures we have has a family on top of all these new activities.
I have developed a hobby or addiction, depending how you look at it, to digital scrap-booking. I use GIMP, a photoshop-like open source program, to manipulate virtual papers stickers, ribbons, buttons etc. to create my pages. I post my pages and promote a few designers at a second scrapbook blog, cyscraps.blogspot.com, so as not to clutter this blog. Check it out!
