This blog has been a long time in the making…
Every time I share my story, what I’ve been through in my life, I’m told I should write a book; however, I didn’t know how publishing worked or how to get started. Plus, I didn’t know how to share my story without hurting others who were also involved. So… I put it off.
Back in 2013, we were homeless and I wanted to share what we were going through; however, I didn’t know how blogging worked or how to get started. So…I put it off.
When the pandemic hit, I thought about starting a YouTube channel for kids, teaching them fun science and art activities; however, I didn’t know how video editing worked or how to get started. So…I put it off.
When I became a Lego model builder, I wanted a way to share the amazing opportunity on a blog and YouTube; however, I didn’t know how to get started. So…I started researching and learning.
I’m still learning, but have learned enough to start sharing…
Faith
Faith is the foundation on which we stand and the lens through which we view the world, as well as a wellspring of hope and strength. Faith is also deeply personal; it is a relationship with our Creator and Savior, not ritualistic rules and traditions. Ensuring our children have a faith rooted in the Truth of God’s Word so they can build a lifelong personal relationship with their Father.
Family
Whether curled up with a book on a rainy day or hiking through the Petrified Forest (bucket list), spending time with family create lasting memories that strengthen family bonds.
Garden
Through gardening, we can strengthen faith by being communion with Him and tending to His creation. We can express our creativity through the selection and arrangement of annuals and perennials. We can provide for our family by growing their favorite fruits and vegetables, as well as growing extra to care for those in need.
LEGO…and more
By using their imaginations, our children are expressing a characteristic they were given by their Father, which He also has – creativity. After all, He is the Creator of everything and created us in His image.
