band-wagon'ing

so i know what your thinking, she's jumping on the band wagon of blogging...and, yes, i am. everyones doing it, and well, i want in! ive been inspired by my friends with blogs, i enjoy reading about them, er, yall... i enjoy reading about life lately, goals, i even enjoy the occasional "i love my dog" post :-) at first, i thought i dont have enough interesting things to write about to have a blog, and while im still not convinced, i have decided to give it a go. so here it is...

as this year began, i felt an unusual desire for change (not quite the kind obama is offering :-O ). not even big change, im very happy with the life im living right now, i have many moments where i just sit back and think how truly blessed i am. but, i was looking for little changes, something out of the ordinary for me, it started with the resolution-ie types of changes, like tackling laundry before it tackled me, and waking up before the kids to enjoy some me time. those were easy enough, and are getting me out of the rut that being a stay-at-home mom can bring. however, anything more than that kinda of scares me...because it makes me (cue dramatic "tie in the title" music)  -uncomfortable-. . so when the lists of womens bible studies were put in my hand, my first reaction is to, once again, stay under the radar. the thought of showing up to a bible study, not knowing who will even be there, make me very uncomfortable- but i signed up anyway, with the desire to grow closer to God. while i am a bit nervous about the initial "hopefully someone sits next to me" fears, i am excited, and i know ultimately its the relationship with me and J-dog (Jesus) that will benefit. even as i write this, i feel a little uneasy. from the worries of misspelling 100 words- or using them incorrectly  (no, not me), to the fear of being exposed (*cringe*). but as i thought about writing a blog, i realized id have to be thinking a lot about ME (hey, something else i dont like to do), which led to a lot of reflecting about ME, which as it turns out, is very uplifting! so thanks for making some room on the band-wagon for me. i do not promise not to disappoint, or to be consistent with my posts...but here's to stepping out of my comfort zone!!!
