"Patience is a virtue"..

"Wings" out our back window...

We've all heard that phrase said time and time again. Today, I'm earning that virtuosity! It happens to be one of those times in my life where I've been waiting for something wonderful to happen and I find myself waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting...... I keep telling people I'm in a "holding pattern", "waiting on the green light" before I can celebrate and start to take in a new way of life.

I'm trying to remain patient today, but it's taking quite a bit of effort! "Patience" is not something that comes naturally. People aren't BORN patient. Any mother knows this fact all too well (just think of hungry babies, wild toddlers, anxious kids...)! We all have the "patience potential" inside us, it's like a little seed. We just have to nurture it for it to grow. So, today, I'm "growing" more and more patient.

With that, I'll leave you with a verse that I love.
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12

Some of what I do...

A few months ago, I decided to start a little project or 86. See, I really love to make stuff. Random things. I have a particular affinity for aprons, I have no idea why (maybe because I'm always in the kitchen?). I also love to make things that put a smile on someone's face and perhaps, warm a heart or two. In all honesty, I really was planning (hoping, really) to make a little extra money to help our family and take a bit of pressure off of my husband, Joe. My "plan" failed pretty miserably, but I made a lot of super cute stuff! :) On to my next big project.....

In the beginning...

Ok, fine! I'll succumb to the peer pressure and start a blog! Why, you might ask? Because that's what SAHMs do...? Because I have entirely TOO much time on my hands...? Because I have SOOOO much information to share with the world...? Nah. Mostly because I need a constructive way to channel my feelings and maybe reach someone on a personal level. Hehehee! Didn't think I'd get THAT deep on ya, did you?!

In all seriousness, I feel that I need a way to reach out, tell stories and witness to someone now and then, all while providing you with laughter, tears and other emotions that are still to be determined! I'll try not to push too many opinions on ya, but I can't promise anything! When a redhead like me gets on a tangent, LOOK OUT! It should be a fun ride, so get in and hang on!!!
