Finally, I've gotten it together!

Oh, how happy I am to be here blogging! I've been thinking about it for a while now, and have been encouraged by many of you to begin sharing my thoughts and our lives so that we can be kept up with! I am sure that I will become addicted, as this is such an easy way to journal. I hope that you'll enjoy checking in on us and that you'll find my posts sincere. I'll post little bits here and there on things happening around our home and in our lives. I'll also be sharing my thoughts on anything and everything I am sure...so, you may get more than you bargained for!


One reason that its taken me so long to get started, is that I felt I wanted the perfect title for our family's blog. I wanted it to be be a reflection of our life and of my walk with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As I prayed about it and searched His Word for an answer, my God gave one to me. How perfect He is! "East to West" says it all...as our moves over the last 3 years have taken us across this wonderful country and also as a reminder of some scripture that has been so REDEEMING for me! (It's also one of my favorite songs from Casting Crowns!) "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us" Psalm 103:12 You see, when you come to know Jesus Christ, as the perfect Son of God, and you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that He came to die on the cross for your sins and was raised TO LIFE again by God, so that you may come to live in eternity with Him, He promises to cast your sins away. You are seen as PERFECT by our Father God! He tells us that He casts the sin as far as the east is from the west...that's a long way away! Take a look at a map...the east and west can NEVER meet. You can live in freedom from guilt, from shame, from bad choices, from mistakes...AND... all of that freedom, He, your loving Father who loves you so perfectly, wants for you. Will you accept it? It's free. You DO nothing... I'd love to tell you more. I hope and pray that the Lord will use this blog and my tiny attempt to tell of Him to bring even one more into the family of God. Thank you Lord for the opportunity!

So, here we are. I look forward to your comments! As I figure this out and am mentored by other more seasoned bloggers, the site will get better and better! Welcome to our life...
