Mission Statements For Moms

Hi everyone!!!!

On my journey to step into my God given roles of wife and mother I've come across many (and I stress many) websites that I'm very grateful for.

One in particular that I came across challenged mothers to Have a mission statement. Now a year later I finally decided to take her up on that offer. (Procrastination at it's finest I know)

I prayed about it and was able to come up with something. Kat, the author of Inspired to Action, advises us ladies that we should put our mission statement in a place that we would see it often. Being that I spend way to much time on the computer mine is on the inside of my computer table. : )

The list doesn't look to intense but then again you ladies don't really know me that well.



God is defenitly a good God because he knows what we need in order to make us more like him. Since I've created the list I look at it and wonder what was I thinking. But then I realize that that list isn't for me to strive within my self to be those things but to allow God to mold me into those things.

Start of Something New!!

Well first I will start off by saying hello.

.. HI ..

OK now that that is done I can tell you a little about my self. I am a 27 year old wife of 2 years and counting. And a mother to my little screaming princess who is 5 months old. I've been wanting to blog forever but just couldn't get up the nerve or the motivation to do it, but its a new year and as new years go its the perfect opportunity to start something new.

Growing up as a child I always wanted to be a wife and a mother. And to be clear I wanted to be that wife and mother at home. I never really shared that information with many people because as we all know the role of a homemaker isn't one that gets much attention or praise for that matter nowadays.

Well, my dreams came true y'all and . . . . . . I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into or what I was asking for. When I really think about it I honestly don't even know how that became my aspirations in life.

My own mother was almost never home because she worked and still to this day works like a mad woman. Now that I really think about it maybe I wanted these things for myself because it was something I never had. But I digress I'll save that story (maybe) for another day. This post is about. . . .

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW!!!!!

I've been longing for a new start for myself for a loooooooooooooong time and as much as I don't see it sometimes, God has given me the opportunity to restart or should I say be reborn. My roles have changed. God has given me a husband and a family to love on and take care of.

Sooo. . . . I say all that to say this.. This is what this blog is going to be about. Me learning to step into my God given roles. And in that learning to allow God to shine thru me unto my family. I may not be Susy Homemaker, but I'll settle for Barbara Homemaker.

And oh yeah my name is Barbara, nice to meet you.
