I am Mommy

Well....by now most of you know that I have a new blog.  It has been something I have been wanting to do for a long time now... mostly because I was looking for different features then the AOL journals offered.

But I want you to know.... this place...this 'J-land'... allowed me to be able to go out and have a truly public blog.  See, my AOL journal was 'public'... but I didn't tell any of my family about it and almost none of my friends.  I was scared to share the real me with them.

None of my family really knows me as a believer.  And honestly, they don't really want to either.  Same with my DH's family.  But I have invited everyone I know.... every email address I had... to my new journal.  No more hiding what I really stand for in this life.  No more keeping how much I really love Jesus a secret.

I want you to all know how much your comments and input have helped me and allowed me to be at a point where I could do this.  You have helped me set up boundaries, you have helped me understand others' boundaries... you have shown me better ways to be me.

And I am so grateful.

I don't really plan on using this journal anymore.... but I do plan on visiting you as often as possible and commenting and keeping in touch.  I do hope you will visit me over at my new blog... and be sure to sign up for the email alert-you will be notified when I have made an entry so that you.

I am so, so grateful... so thankful, and so humbled by your kind hearts and compassionate words.

Blessings!

  Sorry I have been so busy. I went there but did not make a comment. Don't really know what kind of blog thing it is. Looked it over... so will catch you later. I am a night owl and always up too late! lol I will have a busy time for the next 5 days trying to win the appeal on my home. :-(  Hugs, Janie
