Yes, this is a blog that is being written by a Christian that doesn't have her act together. There are still areas in my life that I struggle with, past choices that were made when I wasn't following God and the consequences of those choices. This is what I hope will be more like a daily journal showing that my salvation isn't by anything that I have done or said but by the grace of God. The only thing that I have done is accept the forgiveness granted to me, the forgiveness that I am in constant need of.
A little background. I am a single mother of five children, 4 sons and one daughter. We joke that it took that long to get a girl due to the fact that she is the youngest. Currently she is a teenager getting ready to start her freshman year of high school this fall. It's just her and I, the boys come and visit and stay for a time but only my daughter actually lives with me. I work full time and we manage to make things work. It's not easy but nothing that God calls for us to do will be easy. Only 2 of my children have given their lives to Christ, my oldest and youngest. God never intended for child rearing to be a one person job. It takes two to make a child because it takes two to raise a child.
As far as the last week goes, God has lead me to finally have peace about a situation that has been haunting me for well over a year. Something that I have learned is that even when someone appears to be such an amazing Christian, don't be surprised at their sins. It can get very difficult, especially when you are a casualty of their actions.
It is time to spend some more time with the two youngest, we are to be watching a movie together. One that I have never seen before which rally surprises them -Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End.
God Bless and be the Snakebird that God has called you to be.
