I've been thinking of starting a new blog for while now but this morning, I finally decided to do it. My old blog is called Musings By Mommy. You can find some of the posts listed in the side bar. This morning I realized that I'm not really "Mommy" anymore. I'm mom. My kids are growing up. One is in college and the other in high school. I'm not a military wife anymore as my husband has retired and is now working in the civilian world. I've been on a journey for the last year really trying to find myself. You know, to figure out who I am by myself. Oh, I'm still a wife and mom and always will be but I need to have a little something for me.
In this year or really even longer, I've discovered a little bit of who I am. I have been taking classes for Lay Servant Ministries and I've been loving it. I'm going for Lay Speaker designation next week. I've preached at my home church and also at a nearby rural church who needed some one to fill in for a few Sundays. I LOVED IT!! It was so much fun. I enjoyed preparing and then presenting the sermons. I actually LOVE speaking!
The funny thing is is that I am very shy. Or I always have been anyway. I have a hard time calling and ordering pizza!! And yet, here I am not only speaking but wanting to speak! It's the darndest thing. LOL
I love preparing the sermons. It takes a lot of time but really do enjoy it. I enjoy the studying and researching. I'm learning so much. So for now, THIS is who I am.
I hope you will join me on this journey. I love to get comments so please let me hear from you!

That's such a great post. I started a new chapter on 31 March , 2014 . That's when I got my retired I D card !!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it awesome? Well, I know it is for some and not for others but I have to say it was soooo freeing! I felt like I could breathe easier once my husband retired and he always says it was a great decision. He turned down a promotion to retire for me. Oh sometimes it's hard and there are definitely things we miss but that life.
DeleteCongrats on your retirement!! I hope you are finding your way. :)
