Being real....

 

                                      

    The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.~Steven Furtick


    I love, love, love reading blogs. I love following the adventures of long lost girlfriends from high school that I haven't seen in years and some lives of mommies that I don't even know. I have one main goal for my blog, that is being real. I don't want to come across that everything is perfect. Let me tell you my friends its not rainbows and butterflies around here 99.9% of time.  There are tears, arguments, trials, struggles, good times, beyond stressful times, anxiety that keeps me up at night, hugs, kisses, laughter and memories made around here almost every day. Life is HARD, striving to live as a believer in these times is HARD, motherhood is HARD, marriage is HARD. I want to be able to blog about this crazy life of ours and though I want to be honest, I don't want anyone to think we live a perfect life and I also don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. This is simply our life from my eyes and sharing my heart with friends/family is therapy to my soul. I found in the past couple weeks that it feels amazing just to "get it out" so to speak.  My prayer is that I can be honest, not offend anyone, maybe make you laugh, help some nerve wrecked mommy have someone to relate to, possibly help another LM mommy that is struggling and share wonderful stories of our boys with everyone who chooses to come by our blog. :)
