Welcome!

"In the multitude of words, sin is not lacking" (Prov. 10:19) Ever since I thought about starting a blog, this verse has come to mind on more than one occasion and made me hesitant to write my thoughts for all the world to see. While this verse is primarily talking about verbal communication, the written word can be just as dangerous, if not more so. Especially on the internet, words are so permanent - they can't be softened or forgotten over time.

I do believe however, that my idea to blog has a couple specific purposes that go beyond a mere "online diary". I tend to have very strong opinions, and found that many times I wanted to share my ideas/beliefs so much that for lack of a better avenue, I'd post them on facebook. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, except for the fact that people on facebook have no choice but to read my thoughts, which has the potential to cause unnecessary offense. On a blog, I can graciously say what I want without having that problem. :) My hope and prayer is that what I write will be an encouragement to anyone who stumbles across my tiny piece of the internet!

So, a little about me. I'm a young Christian woman who is committed to stay under the protective roof of my parents until my father transfers the role of leader and protector to my husband. (More about fathers and families on a future post!) Until God brings a godly man into my life, I have the blessing of being home with my family, serving the Lord in various capacities. Right now, my mother is undergoing some serious physical trials which make her unable to accomplish much physically, so my "little corner" has become essentially running the home with the inestimable privilege of doing so under my mom's guidance. Though I don't like the circumstances that led to this new role, I am so blessed to have an opportunity to basically "intern" in the art of homemaking and homeschooling under my mom.

That's all for now! Ideas for posts are already peculating in my brain, so visit again soon! :)
