Do we ever get too old to try something new? Here am I at the "young" age of 55 and I've decided I want to try my hand at blogging. There are several women at my church (we'll get into church later) who have blogs and they are just fabulous. Those women are so talented in so many ways. Among them are newly married women, married with young children, and even older women like me. How I admire (envy) the younger ones! They seem to have themselves together. One of these amazing women has 3 very active boys under the age of 9, she is a full-time homemaker, Zumba instructor, active in church and never seems to run out of energy, and is one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.
I'm not sure if I will be successful in my new endeavor here, but I'll give it my best shot. I'm hoping that the outcome of all this will be a more focused me..a me that can grow and become the woman I want to be. Is it too late??
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints aka Mormon. NO, we do not practice polygamy, 14yr old girls are not marrying men old enough to be their grandfathers
and YES we are Christians. I know within my heart that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us, who knows us, and wants the best things for us. I also know that His son, Jesus Christ lives...that He came into the world with love for each one of us..the kind of love we as mere mortals can only imagine much less comprehend. His atonement has allowed me and everyone else who has lived a "less than perfect" life to have an opportunity to repent and try to do better and live a Christ-like life. I was "encouraged" by someone at my church to try keeping a journal, which I plan to do, but I thought blogging might also be a good idea. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who is struggling and feeling a bit lost right now....maybe someone else can inspire me or offer help that I need..and (dare I say it) I might offer some inspiration to them.
If you've read this post and would like to comment, please do. I have much to learn about the blog-world and any suggestions or ideas would be welcomed.
