1st blog entry

I'm starting this blog in hopes of finding an outlet of productive time in writing. I don't have a lot to say at the moment, but wanted to get started by creating the blog. I decided to title my blog "It's a wonderful life" simply due to that being my all time favorite movie. George Bailey, the character of the movie, was such a wonderful man, so giving and such a great friend and father. I have often felt the woes he struggled through in the movie, and have realized that through it all that family and friends and knowing we are loved by a great God, are what make lives "wonderful".
I am blessed beyond my wildest imagination with great friends who would do anything for me.... too many things to list. But, there are a few that I've lost touch with, or we have grown apart, and that's such a sad thing... I guess we have to trust God's plan, and to allow God to show us the way in life, regardless if we agree/disagree with the results. I am so fortunate in that my life experiences have allowed me to meet some of the loveliest people, and have been such a treasure to me. It's amazing how much love people have for one another...
I'm not a perfect person, I've made many, many mistakes, but do feel that I do have a ministry with God in my own way, albeit unorthodox to some... I'm sure I'll eventually find my "niche"?? My favorite saying from my new church, Gateway http://gatewaychurch-com.si-eioswww5.com/ in Austin, "No perfect people allowed"...
I feel my greatest gifts are my two beautiful sweetheart children who light up my life, and tell me almost every day, "You're the best Mommy in the whole wide world, I love you!!" I am also blessed with a wonderful man who has shown me that there is still love, even when it seems your heart is broken beyond repair... So, in a nutshell, in all that, it's what makes my world go around and around, and makes "It a wonderful life".
