Welcome To My New Blog

Welcome to my new blog!! My family and I recently relocated to south Florida from Overland Park, Kansas. Because July has been the month of change for me, I decided to change my blog to a new location. The real reason for the change is that my old blog (sew56.wordpress.com) looked so blah! I wanted to spice it up a bit. Also, I printed off my blog, and I plan to do so again....and it's easier to just start fresh!

My blog is called "Raising World Changers" because I truly believe I am raising children who will change the world for Jesus. As I go through the days, I try to keep that at the forefront of my mind: these sweet little ones will one day be radical followers of Christ. The dailyness of life is hilarious and fun (and sometimes long and tiring), and I want to always remember the joys of my children's younger days. I have three children: Caleb, Chloe, and Luke. They make me smile often during the day, and being a wife and mom is the BEST job on earth.

My sole purpose in blogging is to record memories that are easily forgotten. I do not journal, so this is my keepsake. It is a treasure for me to re-read things that I have long forgotten. My posts get long and probably boring for most, but this is what I want to remember!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to be more faithful to blogging than I have been. I am finally starting to feel settled into my new life in Florida.

    Phew! I was worried when you mentioned your last post on your other blog that you were going to stop blogging!

    I love the title of your blog. You are such an inspiration as a momma and a woman of God!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...
