Malachi, 9 months old, has contributed to some serious role change recently in my life - I'm a Mum! As my only child, I'm battling daily in working out what this change means to my priorities, activities, and application of my faith. Please don't think I have it all together - this is a challenging journey!
I am thankful to God for the recent change in my every-moment-everyday as it's caused me to stop and consider how to glorify God right here & now. Living in this broken and rebellious world, it takes strength to live in a way that rejoices in Christ's defeat over death. The path of a Christian is hard. It's on this battle ground that I hope to establish my sturdy walls 'up': walls that defend my home against the lusts of the world in obedience to God; walls that help nurture a love for God in the home, and; walls that have a door that welcomes others in to the loving grace of the Father. Let me emphasise that these walls are a work in progress - and are a result of my life's transition to amateur mumming so please leave your words of wisdom and thoughts in response!
I have began this blog with the hope of giving you a glimpse behind the walls of my home (and head), that leave you encouraged, refreshed, and with an appetite to think. Let me also express that I also have selfish reasons for blogging: I think as I talk and so, it is hoped that this will spur me to think as I type with some intelligibility!
Pleased to meet you and welcome to my home.
