Well its been a little while

I can’t believe OD is back.   I tried other online journaling but none of them worked for me.  It just wasn’t the same.  I built friendships here. Thank God for facebook.

So much has changed and happened since the shut down.  So much is still going on.   My mind is constantly running in circles.

For starters I am 35.  just celebrated my 8th Wedding Anniversary.  My son will be 7 years old in June. I will celebrate my 3 yr anniversary with my current employer, a God given blessing!

My husband hated (well hates) that I wrote in an online diary.  Still does so I’m not sure if I can tell him about this just yet or if ever. Whats the difference if I wrote in a paper journal he cant see?  Its easier for my words to flow with a keyboard than paper in pen. But I hate secrets.  But I need a place for myself.  He doesn’t understand how freeing it was for me to watch my words flow on the screen in front of me.  When I really really needed to write about problems, I kept it private/friends only, which I will continue to do.   I have a lot on my mind and in my heart and I can’t let it all come out at once.   I won’t unleash everything yet.

I am a Christian. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and a lot of my entries will contain scripture and things that have to do with my faith.  I’m working on bettering my relationship with the Lord and I need this space to sort out my thoughts.  For those here that need prayer for anything feel free to stop by.  Maybe I can change a life or two.  Maybe I can make a difference.  God uses many tools to reach others.

My entries will also contain struggles I have with my family, with my marriage with with parenting. I am as real as real can be.

Well its Friday.  It’s been a long week and I am looking forward to some R&R, although with a 6 year old boy you don’t get much of that.

Well until next time!

You are back. I have missed this place too…

My life is different too. I need prayer for something which sounds so weird coming from my keys, my entries contain it.
