Many Firsts

This is indeed a "first" for me... and rather intimidating! The funny thing is, is that I really don't have the "time" to add this into my life! I'm a mum of two...and mind you, two rambunctious offspring of Josh and myself. Then I work at my church and teach a night class in the land of Lincoln. And of course, I'm here pecking away at my computer trying to justify starting a blog (watching American Idol that my mother actually sucked me into!!!). If others can do it, why can't I?!!

I'm afraid I'll start sharing stuff that's meant for only my journal... seriously, who wants to read about MY life?!! BUT... I do have a story to tell... and it's a story similar to the Israelites when they were wandering around the wilderness for, how many years? At least we think so! Yeah, ever since we moved from NH, it's been like a wilderness for us... and some days it seriously, seriously feels like we are aimlessly wandering around calling out to God. I can't go any further than that, since as I'm going to mention very soon, I could write a book.

Anyways, that's why I chose the Blog Title as The Wilderness. I've kept telling people I'm going to write a book. BIG problem though... I'm not a good writer. I'm a good rambler. I may teach English as a Second Language or for those politically correct out there, I teach English to English Language Learners, but I'm not an "eloquent" writer. That's my brother. I love reading his letters...HE can write. I can ramble. Did I mention that already?

Anyhow.. I think I'm starting this Blog to ramble about our wilderness. I've rambled enough to God, so I'm just taking it one step further. The other reason I started this blog was to respond to our friend, Nathan Davis's blog. Mr. Blogger creator, you are smart, way to suck others in! So, do I get stuck with some huge fee later? I agreed to the terms and conditions, but didn't actually read them. Yikes.


Well, my daughter is starting to wake up from falling asleep on my lap at the dinner table (she has decided that naps aren't for her, but when she's sick I actually get a break!) and has since been moved to the couch. I'm thinking it's time to move her to her bed. She's becoming very restless... hmmm, could it be because she has put her legs in a vertical position on the couch pillows and has lost of feeling with no blood flow?

Regardless, I'm losing focus in writing and should probably close this first BLOG. Plus my battery on the lap top is about dead.

So, am I a rambler?!!
