300 & counting!

Can you believe it? My 300th post! I never imagined that this blog would end up being all that it has to me, my family and those that continue to follow our journey. In many ways, I feel as though my college degree is making itself somewhat useful here. I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism/TV with a minor in English. For many years I thought I wanted to be a news anchor/reporter. More specifically, I wanted to work for the sports network, ESPN. For various reasons after college, I ended up working in the financial services industry and became a stock broker and investment consultant. For 12 years, I worked for several Fortune 500 companies. I have to admit, although the money was good, I had no real passion for it. God knew that somehow I would meet my future husband down this path and for that, I'm eternally grateful. These days, I enjoying writing, taking pictures, and in many ways, reporting our news. I know that there are some days that my family thinks of me not as a reporter but more like the paparazzi. :)

There are many benefits from having this blog that I didn't intend on having when I first began it almost 2 years ago. First and foremost, it will serve as a journal of detailed memoirs for our daughters. Secondly, it has become a great way for us to remember when certain things occurred. Our memories seem to grow dimmer as the years fly by. Lastly, I feel as though I am using some of my spiritual gifts to serve the Lord and glorify Him. Now, that is something that I do have a passion for and in some small way, I feel as though I'm making a difference here. With that said, I still have no idea how long I will continue to blog. I hope that you have enjoyed our journey thus far but more than that, I hope that you have also been encouraged, inspired, and challenged to delve deeper into your own walk of faith. After all, that's what life is isn't it? A journey of faith. May God bless you along your way and may you find the courage and humility to accept His gift of grace. For Morgan and I, it is there alone where true love, peace, and joy abundantly flow.
