Go Pirates!

As I was thinking about how to start blogging, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my college years. This pic was taken about 8 years ago, and that's my baby sister beside me and my now hubby behind us making the funny face... he was flirting I think. We were rooting for our ECU Pirates... Arrgghhhh!! You see, my college years were some of the best years in my life. Meeting my husband there only added to the enjoyment. I really learned who I was and who I wasn't; what I believed and what I knew were lies; how I wanted to live my life and how I wanted not to; and why certain things mattered to me and others seemed to not matter so much anymore. It took asking lots of questions and sometimes I pretended to be something I wasn't, but it was a journey that led me to where I am now.

When I think about generations rising, I think about college folks. They're at a pivotal point in their lives, and it's so important to reach out to them. For you who are among my generation and now starting families, it's partly our responsibility to show the rising generations how to be a follower of Christ. That's where my heart is right now.

And speaking of generations rising...

I now have the pure enjoyment of chasing this little fella around. He's our baby boy, and he's almost 1! As amazing as it is, I am also acutely aware of the tremendous responsibility we have as parents with this brand new generation. Oh, how we pray for the Lord to guide us!

So, all my Pirates out there, be a generation that rises above conformity no matter your age.

We hope you'll enjoy our blog. You never know what sort of random topics you'll find here, but you'll know you're not the only crazy one out there!!

Ahoy Mate!
