Transitions and growth

This isn’t my first attempt at blogging.  My first blogging adventure began in 2013 while I was walking through the challenges of raising a strong-willed daughter.  You can read it here…..Serenity is my Life

Life has transitioned a lot since then.  Our daughter is 23 and is a beautiful representation of how Jesus can turn a life around.  My husband of 25 years and I are empty nesters (for the most part), and we are looking towards retirement within the next 10 years.

God has placed a new mission on my heart…..

Our jobs…..the place where we spend more than 50 percent of our time; and for some people that percentage is far higher.  Because we spend so much of our time there, we spend time with people.  The same people, day in, day out; whether we enjoy their company or not.  We often spend more time with them than we do with our families.  It’s difficult at best not to be caught up in personality conflicts.  It’s hard to keep personal feelings separate from the job in front of us.  At least, is is for me.  It is exhausting.  I fail miserably at this on a daily basis. So maybe I am restarting this blog and writing this post as a self indulgent task; but I’m pretty sure I am not the only one that struggles with this.

So I am moving forward with a bit of vulnerability and a lot of faith.  A lot of the words I will be sharing here will be for my own comfort and validation.  Consider that a premature confession; but I know that God will be glorified by my vulnerability.  Not only will He be pleased with my willingness to be transparent, but my true hope is that YOU will be blessed.  Maybe you have the same struggles.  My prayer is that you will find comfort and understanding here.
