I am one of those new bloggers, the kind of people that say- I never thought I would ever have a blog so this is totally weird but I hope that maybe, um, people will read this...
I LOVE writing and creating so why I haven't had a blog before I will never know. Maybe because of my attrocious spelling? Did I even spell that right?
Thanks to friends encouragement and God prompting me to put something on the wide web about HIM, that speaks of HIS glory, goodness, and sense of humour and about a wife messing up ALL the time.
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I enjoy writing it.
So why blog? What makes me think I have anything to say worth saying? And what should I write about? Things that need to be addressed like world hunger and the sex trade (two things VERY dear to my heart)? Good books to read? What about the insane things my husband does when he thinks no one is looking? Or how much he makes me laugh in the morning, you never know what he'll say when he's just woken up! Or how I am training him to sneeze into his elbow and whenever he doesn't he looks up at me like a dear caught in headlights. But whenever he does he thinks it's funny to then wipe his sleeve on me. I think he's trying to make a point but I will win this battle.
Why don't I write about people in my life and why they are in my life? Or what I am learning about myself from being married that I never would have known before, like how I have trouble remembering to shut cupboards and forget to water plants.
Growing up with two insane brothers who are good at everything, a wonderful Mother who never stops working or doing something with her hands, and a Father who is known around the world?
If I could blog, I would blog about life. I would blog about God and why I believe He is life, the air that I breathe and my very breath. I would blog...simply to create.
And that is why I am typing right now, to create. Thinking that out there somewhere there is someone who wants to read about someone creating words and images. Someone who wants to be inspired to be different, to love life and most importantly God.
This blog may be called the Good Wife (no pun intended...), but that doesn't mean it's only for wives, far from it! This is one woman's ramblings about discovering this new role and all the craziness that comes from it, because so far I feel like I'm failing miserably. And yet, my husband thanks me everyday for what I do and how I love him. Along the way I hope there will be many laughs, at my mistakes or findings. And also something to learn for your life, in whatever journey you are on. SO...
The journey begins, care to come along?
Rachael!! So glad to see you've been bitten by the bug and now have a blog. I can't wait to hear more "words of wisdom" from you while keeping it real! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
Woohoo!!! Finally! Way to go, beauty! I'm proud of you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to be taken along the the wings of your words as you share them...
So glad you're not afraid to write about things that merit substance and may make readers squirm.
But all for God's ultimate GLORY and praise be due Him :)
Your life shines Him, Rachael, therefor, I am excitedly anticipating heaps of blog posts to burst forth from your creative mind and pliable heart, a heart that is both a strong and soft... Shining of God's love, Jesus as man and God, and the indwelling Spirit which abides in you as you abide in Him!
Hugs from BC aka-> the Promised Land
Yay! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteYay for your new blog! And I agree that Jordan should sneeze into his sleeve...he used to blow massive goobers out his nose that would just dangle there...like a foot long...does he still do that? If so, you're wise to teach him about the sleeve thing. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to many more posts!
