First post!

So up until this moment I've seen blogging as somewhat stupid and a waste of time. But recently I've needed an outlet of my feelings and expressions. I've never really been a good writer and I would rather type then write with pen and paper so here I am. 

I am a 21 year old woman. A wife of almost 3 years. A mother of 2. My daughter will be 2 in July and my son 1 in September. That in itself may explain the need to need something of my own that I can write and express whatever I want. I find myself sometimes so caught up in life and living it that I can easily sweep things I feel or something I'm hurting from under the rug quickly. Don't get me wrong I have no problem expressing the way I feel or standing up for myself. I think I would be labeled a strong-willed woman. But when it comes down to me and feeling hurt or dying to myself (which I'm getting really good at lately), basically anything that makes me vulnerable I have trouble facing it. And I need to because it's healthy and good for me. 

Most of my life is consumed by my children. Since they are so young I have to basically do everything for them which is fine. I love my children and I love my life. I've planned on being a stay at home mom for some time now and I am glad and so proud that I get this opportunity to raise my children in the Lord and not in the ways of the world. I find it interesting that the description of a mother is as followed...

mother |ˈməðər|nouna person who provides the care and affection normally associated with a female parent

I want so much to provide my children with a godly home. And I try really hard to be very caring and affectionate with both of them. I set things aside and cuddle them or play with them. The dishes and laundry and cleaning can wait. My children are growing so fast I can hardly believe it. 

I think I'm about done for this one. I will say that I named my blog the way I did because my husband and I do seek a life of righteousness in every way we can and it's been the foundation of our lives and continues to be the light of our lives. Jesus can do powerful things.
