This morning I decided to create a personal blog to start sharing what I've learned from God in my day to day living. I hope to sit down each night and post about what I've discovered and learned from that day along with any insights that may come to mind. I think this will be a wonderful exercise for each of us to practice. What I mean by that is, making it a point to go through your day looking for God's lessons and blessings in our life. Then journaling about them each day. I think it would be great to share these things with each other and not only that, but to be able to go back over our previous posts and re-experience the blessing/lesson. This would be incredibly helpful during those days when we are feeling a little down and the world is trying to keep us there.
If you would like to visit my newest blog where I plan to start this venture, here is the address:

I really encourage you to create your own. Especially you girls out there! I'm starting to look bad on my other blog with links to nothing but the guys' blogs. I like men, but I don't want people to think I like them too much. You know? ;)

Jennifer G,
Sounds like a good idea. I would start a blog sight, but I hardly have time to read and comment on all of yours.
I didn't really think about it until now...but I do have 3 blogs...haha. Good grief. I'll settle for your comments. ;)
Three blogs? Good greif, you've caught up with me! Guess I'll have to start another one!
; P
Tim will sometimes call me Charlie Brown because I am always saying "Good Grief!" in the same tone he does and everything. ;)
Jennifer: I think you should think about writing a book since you do such a good job at expressing yourself on these blogs.
I have so many things to be thankful for and sometimes these things just pass over my head because I am so busy doing everything around the home. If we would take the time to stop and pray and meditate there would be so many things to praise God for we would probably be surprised how fast we could fill a book with all his goodness.
I am so thankful that God takes good care of me and keeps me in good health. I have had some really good friends the last few years that has lost their lives to cancer and other illness and then losing my mother. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to spend the last few years with my mom and sit with her in church the last years of her life. So we could go on and on about the love God gives us daily in our lives.
Just some thoughts I am sending to you. Enjoy your writing.
Love - Irmalee
When I first mentioned the idea of a Sunshine Blog, I had to explain blogging before I could get the idea across. Now, the blog has done well, and many have personal blogs. I'm tickled to see everyone take-off with it. I, personally, am holding back on developing my own blog. I enjoy the volume of interaction generated here. I like to see a post collect 10 or more comments. I even like it when a little controversy emerges (so long as no offense is taken by participants). So you guys go off and build your own blogs, but don't forget where home is.
Irmalee,
Thank you so much! That's not the first time someone has told me that I should write a book. Tim's boss at the main library told me I should write a book about my life and if I did, the library would buy it. That's quite a compliment, you know? For about 2 years or so, I've felt a little nudge in going that direction and I've just kinda' been letting it grow inside me. If I do end up writing a book, it should be a pretty good read because I will have had lots of time to decide what I'm going to say by that time....haha. Most often, when I write, I write from my heart on the spur of the moment. I tend to be most inspired when there is no pen and paper around to write my thoughts on. My best ideas for anything come while I'm driving or in the shower. ;) Not a good time to write stuff down.
I'm definately a communicator and I'm sure I didn't really have to announce that fact. :D I have to say that I've discovered something about myself when I talk. When I have something come out of my mouth quickly and smoothly and it makes ME say "Wow! That was good!", I know it wasn't MY words at all. It was God speaking. I found that God speaks to me through my own mouth yappin' to someone else. I find this facinating and so the "yappin'" doesn't slow down any. (Poor Tim)
I never ever want to come across as someone who thinks highly of themselves and loves to hear the sound of their voice. I DO want to come across as someone who speaks when God says to speak and say what HE wants people to hear. I just want to be a humble speaker/writer for God. ;)
Ya know, I commented on this post earlier but for some strange reason it didn't really register in my brain that you had actually started a new blog...I got it in my head that you were just THINKING about starting one. Just visited it and enjoyed it very much. I'll add it to my links of recommended sites. :)
Thanks, Al. That's so nice of you to add me to your links. It means alot to me when I see one of my websites added to someone's website. A great compliment. :)
