WHO AM I

Who am I? The first thing that comes to mind when I try to answer that question is I am a Child of God. The second answer – I am a wife and I am a mother. That’s me. These are my goals: I want to serve my God and I want to serve my family.

I became politically active (which means I am actually interested in what politicians are saying and passing) in 2008 when everything in the world seemed to be going crazy, when I started thinking about the effects laws and policies had on the world my kids were going to grow up in.  I think it all corresponds with the realization that I’m responsible for preparing young minds to live in this world. I want them to have the BEST world possible. If I don’t try to inform myself about what’s going on – and then I don’t try to inform others…well, I certainly didn’t do all I could to preserve our country. I didn’t do all I could to create a better place for my kids to live. So I’m trying to change that. I’m going to write my thoughts on issues of the times – hopefully informing people along the way (but I am fully aware that it might never be read). Maybe if I write it all down here then I won’t spend as much time talking my husband’s ear off when he gets home.

I’m a stay-at-home mom.  That’s my job, that’s my mindset - so that’s the perspective you’ll get.  These times (as are all times) are filled with complex issues and they need to be thought out and worked through by a lot of people not just politicians. The moms of the world matter and we are smart and we love our families. I believe that the sacrifice a mom makes allows her to be uniquely qualified to tackle the problems of the day. A mother understands the necessity and value of compassion and love while accepting that work and discipline must also be involved in order to achieve success and happiness.

Let’s work hard to solve problems and think them through. Let’s spread the word and encourage others to think critically. Let’s continue to build great homes and families – and influence the country on the way. :)

ps you should know that I have two small children with more planned (not yet on the way) so posts may be few or many. I have no idea.
