New Words

A new season is in my heart. For awhile the I have felt like I was supposed to begin writing down my journey as a mom more faithfully. I had a blog before (Hodge Blogs) that began w/ the birth of our first child Caroline. I stopped ... not sure why...not sure anyone wanted to read another blog. I have been so reluctant to write this stuff down for others to see...but just when I least expect it someone says, "You should write a blog." or "You should write a book." Seriously people, I will sadly disappoint Mrs. Katstra (my high school honors English teacher) with my grammatical and spelling errors. I didn't and don't want to be just another "blogger"...that said...I believe the Lord has something to say to me...to you - reader - about Him, about our children, our husbands, our families and how He might wish for us to do all of those things in a manner than Honors him.
So I am not sure where these posts will take me...you...but I will share what's in my heart about this journey. This isn't a place for me to say this is the "only way" to do things...this is just our way. My three kids, Caroline (4), Wyatt (3), and Hope (7 months) will be the center of most of the posts. Their joy, angst, energy, tough questions. All of it. Enjoy. Be encouraged. You are doing and good work and you can not come down from it!
