Sometimes, I feel out of place. Okay, honestly, I almost always feel out of place. I’ve learned to mask it pretty well and joke enough that most people would be shocked to know I feel that way. (At least, I like to think they would.) The fact remains that, on a fairly regular basis, I’m left asking myself (and God, of course) the questions, “Where is it that I really belong? What contribution do I really make? Would the world really change much without me in it?”
Don’t get me wrong! I know I belong with my husband and children! I know God gave them to me, and I’m honored that He would let me be part of their lives! I wouldn’t trade all my time with them for anything, but I can’t help but think, “Surely, there’s something else I can do!” Not something besides what I already do. Just something…more.
So, basically, this blog is my “more”. That probably sounds conceited – like I think I have some sort of wisdom to impart, but I honestly don’t mean it that way. I just want to put a few thoughts on paper and share a few memories with friends. Some of it will be serious, and some of it will be…well…not serious. But, here’s hoping that it will be…more.
