Welcome!

     Hello, to those who are viewing this as my very first post, or to those who are just joining and wanted to see how it all began :)  I started this blog out of facebook frustrations, thinking that a) my musings can't possibly be limited to 500 characters any longer, and b) although I weeded out my page to as small as I had the guts to do, I wasn't 'liking" that people who genuinely don't know or love me knows all about the intimate details of my life.  So here, only those who truly care will even look.  And if that's like 1 or 2 people, that is fine with me, but since fb is doing their own timeline thingy anyway, I figured I'd make my own timeline just by creating a blog!

     And lastly, but not least, c) Over the past few weeks, it dawned on me that as much as I found facebook to be a great ministry opportunity, the thought fluttered my mind as I read people's personal posts day after day...what if it wasn't God's will for me to know all these things, let alone to consume my (valuable at least to my family) time learning details of people who never really impact my life for good or bad.  so put all that together, having earnestly prayed, I got the increasing pull that I was supposed to leave facebook...at the very least not to be a daily participant.  For matters of spreading news quickly, I am leaving my account open so I could inform family members should anything arise that everyone needs to know ASAP.  

     I titled this blog Livin' La Vida Jesus because I think that is what our hearts desire is as a family.  And that was what just came out of me when I sat down to write :)  We will have triumphs at times, other times, we will fail miserably, but I hope what we go through will serve as an encouragement to anyone.  If anything it will be for me and my family to look back and see where God has grown us!  Thanks for coming along for the ride!
