It's Sunday and my first thoughts were that I didn't want to go to church. Without even trying, I could think of all the reasons that I wouldn't want to be there. I hate that. I know that it was an attempt by the enemy to distract and discourage me, but I have to ask myself why I was vulnerable to that attack. I'm used to my first thoughts of the day being about Jesus and full of joy and expectation. That's why this threw me and makes me ask myself if I've made myself vulnerable. Not beating myself up, just asking myself some honest questions. But be assured, I will go to Worship this morning. I will bring my sacrifice of praise and will expectantly wait to hear from Him. He is worthy of all my praise (and so much more) and I will gladly serve Him. There. I feel better already.

- What can I say? I'm 42, married (by the grace of God, to a wonderful, loving man for 23 years) and the mother of three great kids. I work part time as our church secretary and also have the privilege of being a deacon together with my husband. I love studying the Word, teaching, leading women's groups, and planning events. We live a busy, yet quiet life in a small community in the Prairies. Both my husband and I grew up here and love that we can raises our kids here too. In my spare time I like to jog or walk (I aim for every morning), read, and hang out with my family and friends. My dreams include time to write and this blog is my nod to that dream and an indication that I haven't given up on it!
