A little bit about me

My life is filled with many blessings.  Let me list three of them and they will help describe "who I am."

  • I am a Christian.  All of the blessings and grace I have received in this life come from my Heavenly Father.
  • I am married to a truly wonderful, godly man.  He has the funniest sense of humor.  He truly works hard without complaining for his family.  He models Christ's servant hood on a daily basis. 
  • The joy and blessing of children have been added to our family.  I have 3 daughters who are currently 5, 3, and yet to be born.  I have one son who is 22 months.
Those are three integral blessings that have shaped who I am at this moment.

Now, if I were to write you a letter introducing myself I would probably say something like this:

Dear Friend,

My name is Kelly and I am happily married to someone who truly is my best friend.  We have three lovely children and one on the way.  I am a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom).  This title involves quite a bit!  Training and discipling my children, cleaning, cooking, and homeschooling comprise a normal day in my household.

Reading is something I happily do if I have a few moments.  I read for fun as well as to expand my knowledge on various topics.  My local librarians know me quite well.

I was taught to sew clothing last year by a dear lady in my church.  This opened up a whole new love to me.  While I am not able to sew as much as I would like I do enjoy how well I "de-stress" while fashioning some new article of clothing for my daughters to wear.

Cooking and baking are two more things that interest me.  I am constantly learning healthier ways to cook and it has opened up many avenues of culinary enjoyment in our family.  Er, except for beans . . . but that is another story for another post.

Writing.  I love to write.  I am able to process my thoughts and bring them out better on paper - or computer screen - better than when I communicate verbally.  I studied as an English major during college for this various reason.  This is why I blog.  My husband tells me that when he reads my posts that he learns new things about me.

I am sure you will learn more about me as time goes on.

In His grace,

Kelly

Kelly, I got the link for your blog on the mom bloggers club comment 3 group. You seem to be a kindred spirit in so many ways. I, too, get my inspiration for blogging from all of the blessings that Our Lord has seen fit to send me. I will add you to my list and happy blogging!May the Lord continue to bless you in your vocation of being a mother.

Kelli: I love your blog just as I did Mama Russell's Blog. We are kindred spirits, I think...(boy 6, girl 4, boy 2, boy 10 most) and Christian homeschoolers! God bless you and keep up the creative, thoughtful, and beautiful work. Jennifer
