Here I Go:

Well the title says it all, here I go. I've been really praying about God to lead me to do more for him, and God keeps whispering to me about writing. Soooo Here I go. Please be patient with me I'm no educated writer by any means whatsoever. :) 

Here is a little bit about me: I'm a Christian, follower of God almighty first an foremost. I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister and a quilter. I also have a love of gardening ( mostly flowers), reading,finding & eating of great food, antique treasure finding, walking in woods, fishing, rug hooking and a few other fun life things. I'm married to one of the most wonderful God loving man I know named Clyde, we've been together going on 27 years. We have two grown boys Josh & Caleb. And we have a few fur babies to round us out. 

I live in southern Ohio, which is beautiful, love all of it's crazy seasons. 

The reason I feel God has lead me to do this is to mostly spend more time with him. I'm on the computer whether it is checking out facebook ( yep i love it), pinterest ( Lord help me there) , etsy ( did I mention I sell on there), reading, and lots more. So why not blog about what God means to me, What God is Revealing to Me,  how God is blessing me/my family ( We all need to read some Good news somewhere), how God is using me/my family and so on. So Here I go....

Lets start with this: What does God Mean to You?
God means a lot of things to me. God is the one true person that has given great peace in my heart, comfort, true love, and the feeling of being important to someone. I was a person who use to worry about everything, always has a plan B & C if plan A fell thru, never trusting anyone or anything in my life. Once I rededicated my life to God, I had such a feeling come over me I've never experienced before. You see I was saved as a little girl around 7-8 years old according to my mom's bible, always prayed but as I growing up, the world came into my life. I would lie about things to get people to like me, to feel like I belong, & to get out of trouble. I drank a lot, but I feel God didn't let me go down the path of drugs like some of my family members. I was doing things that I shouldn't have been doing, but that is in the past. Once I started going back to church, basically I started taking my kids to bible school one summer to a church down the road, I felt the need to go for Me. So after awhile I rededicated myself to God, and to follow him. I haven't regretted that decision I made. I have such sense of peace in my life. God is going to take care of me no matter what life throws at me. God has been the rock which life situations have pulled the rug out from under me. God has basicially kept me sane in this insane world. God has strengthened my marriage, my relationship with my children, has taught me tolerance and acceptance. God has truly filled my soul and given me a reason to put one foot in front of the other, to keep striving to make it to heaven. 

So What does God mean to you?? I'd love to hear from others in the answers to this question. I feel we all need to uplift one another.
