Starting Over

So, it's be a WHILE since I blogged. I didn't mean to flake out on this, but let's face it, my life has been crazy these last few months! So, this post is titled "Starting Over" for a few reasons. First, I am starting over with this blog. I am changing the theme a bit. I think I limited myself too much before by making it only about Biblical reflections. Instead, I will be blogging about a multitude of things from parenthood to marriage, from work to home life, from Biblical reflections to humurous observations.

I am also in a stage of my life where I am starting over in so many ways. We have moved our family to a new town and state where we knew almost no one and had no family. My husband has gone from being a teacher to a student. I have gone from being a stay at home mom to (Lord willing) a mom with what I like to call a "second job." We are really beginning a completely new and different stage in our lives. It's exciting and scary at the same time!

I think we all come to points in our lives when starting over is a good thing! Sometimes we're just in a rut. Other times we need to start over because too many bad things have happened and if something doesn't change we'll just grow tired and bitter. Sometimes starting over is a choice, other times it is imposed upon us. No matter what, though, starting over can be an opportunity to grow, to learn and to walk more closely with our God!
