Saturday 17th, September 12:15 am

This is my first of many posts. I have been wanting to start my own blog for a while now, but being challenged in the area of computer technology, I put it in the too hard basket. If only I knew how easy it was to achieve, I could've been on here months ago. Well a little about myself, I am a stay at home Mum to 5 children, of which keep me extremely busy. I have been with my amazing husband Nathan for 13 yrs, married for 10 yrs. God has definately blessed us over the years. Many a time I am in awe that we have a family of 7, but deep down I guess God really knows the desires of our hearts. I always imagined having all these children, filling our home with lots of noise, laughter, and most of all LOVE. At times I end up in tears because I get so overwhelmed at not having enough hours in the day, or just because I feel housebound and somewhat underappreciated. It can be extremely frustrating to spend your entire day doing housework, that just gets messed up again before the day is through. Time and time again I ask the Lord to give me patience, and day by day there are obstacles and hurdles put in my path to test me. It is then that I need to take a moment to thak God for all that he has given me and look at the bigger picture.
I find spending so much time at home with little ones, I have so much on my mind but no-one to share these thoughts with, that having a Blog might help me to share what is on my mind. Well it is late and I have an early start tomorrow, so I'll sign off now. x
