Coming back...

So a few weeks ago, I decided to take a little time and blog privately for awhile.  I have still captured our happenings just as I always have but just chose not to share it with the world so much......

But then something happened.  I was reminded that the devil wants to shut me up.  He wants to scare me and push me down and put me in a corner.  He wants to use evil to scare me and lock myself and my family away from all the ugly.  So I took some time, re-evaluated some things, and decided that I wasn't going to let him do that to me.  Yes, my family's safety and security is still a HUGE priority for me.  But so is my story that I have to tell.  God wants me to a light for Him.  I have been given a little fork in the road and debated long and hard about which way to go.  Do I shut it up and hide me and my family from the mean and ugly things in the world or do I stand up for the one thing that I believe most in the world?  Do I do my job as a mother and protector of my family or do I go and try to change lives with my words that I sit behind this screen and type?

After some very long and very deep thinking and praying and some hard decision making, I decided that running and hiding is exactly what the devil wants me to do and that I didn't want to give him what he wants.  My family's safety and security is still my number one priority so I have made more of an effort to really think about exactly what all I will and will not share on here.  I love documenting my life here and want to continue to do so.  But, there are a few things that I will be a bit more careful with letting the world see. 

So with all that being said, I am back.  Things may be a little different around here in the future but I have my story to tell and God's word to share through this blog and the devil will not take that away from me!
