Why Am I Here? (Blogging, that is!)

A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11

I'm not a setting of silver.  Yet.  God is still working on me.  The purpose of this blog is to catalogue and remember the lessons God is teaching me in my everyday life.  Too often I wonder where the evidence of Christ in my life, is?  I FORGET those sweet moments of realization that God is speaking to me and teaching me about Him and His ways; all while scrubbing a floor, organizing a pantry, listening to a song on the radio, or even watching a movie with the kids.  I don’t want to forget!  I want to be responsible with the seeds my heavenly father has planted in me.  I want to leave a legacy to my family and children of thankfulness and of crediting God for each lesson learned and each victory in my life.  This is why I’m writing.  If no one ever lays an eye on my fabulous sentence structure or perfect grammar (HA!) it is really going to be o.k. with me.  This is my Christian legacy to my children.  And for me, a tool to go back and REMEMBER the footprints of God all over my life.  If you are reading this, may you consider walking, growing, and learning with me!   
A setting of silver is what I desire to become.  Each lesson I learn on this journey, I’ve begun to define as a bite of a Holy Golden Apple that God is cooking up in my kitchen as He rubs and shines up my tarnished silver setting waiting to be placed on his great banquet table. 
May my Father look upon me one day and see inside my vessel, beautiful golden fruit that sings to the glory of God alone. 

"...Well done, thy good and faithful servant!"  Matthew 25:21

May it ever be so…
