This blog is so long overdue. I've wanted to start one for awhile.
For months I have been trying to dream up some really cool and catching title....something that sounded unique, inviting, honest....and well, something "me". (It has kept me from taking this FIRST step, because I want things just 'so'.) I don't know that I have found any of those things in this title. I may not keep it, I may change it or slightly modify it...I may stop blogging altogether because I just don't know if this is the right name. (Yes, I am a complicated person......if you choose to continue to read, you'll gather that fact for yourself soon enough:)
But, I'm here now. It's taken me a long time. And I'm starting with low expectations of myself (please join me:). You see, I'm not an experienced blogger. I get very little time on the computer because of the nature of this season of my life. Computers confuse me - I can do the bare bone basics of searching the web and sending an e mail (don't ASK me how to send an attatchment - especially a photo small enough to send). And sometimes I think my life, my thoughts or the moments I share with my loved ones are not interesting enough to share.
So, I'm scared... thinking....what if nobody reads it? What if it looks terrible? What if this blog becomes my husband's 2nd job because I am forever having questions about how to attatch a photo? and what if something I post is too true of me not to be honoring to the God I love and so desperately want to honor and serve?.........
Yes, it is complicated....just like me. But, if there is an opportunity to learn and to grow in communicating my life, then I'll take it.
So, if you are still reading...thanks.
My beloved is mine, and I am his... Song of Solomon 2:16a
Her children rise up and bless her... Proverbs 31:28a
About Me
- Clare
- I am the blessed wife of my beloved sweetheart. I'm mommy to three great, fantastic and fun kids. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity God has blessed me with in serving them each day....grateful and amazed that He would choose me to be best for each of them. I am so thankful to partner with my husband as he serves in ministry within our church. I praise God for His goodness to us as we live life together in 'the Great North'. HE is the Giver of joy in my life.

You, my friend, have such a genuine and beautiful heart. Your humility and gentleness draw people not only to you, but most importantly, to the One who made you. It's compelling.
Because of that, I'm confident He's going to use your sweet spirit to touch and encourage many through this blog, just as He does with those you touch in person.
Can I tell you how very, very excited I am about this? :)
It is a great idea Clare, I never get the time to sit and call because i am always running behind schedule and forget that i wanted to call, now I can hop on here and find out what is going on in your lives. You will get the hang of it all, it is hard at first, but soon it will become second nature and Torrey will be wondering why you havent asked him for help lately. Keep writing, even if you dont think it is important write it anyways i will check back often. Love Jen
I love to hear how you all are doing. The blog is an awesome idea and I hope that you continue to do it. It really keeps you feeling close even though you are so far away. The house looks great and the kids look even better. I'm glad you are all adjusting well and can't wait to see you all soon. Only a few more days until you come home. We really miss you all and you are in our thoughts and prayers more often than you know... love Nana
