Welcome! My name is Danica.
It has been a long, hard summer to say the very least. A hard last two years really, but that is a long list of stories for another day. But over the last few weeks it has begun to hit me that we are walking a tight rope towards everything we have been working so hard for (more on that later). I am an emotional wreck. I have had several people tell me to start a blog to document everything that we are encountering.
At first I thought, “Like I have time for a blog.” But after some more thought I realized it could be the perfect opportunity to document the highs, lows, happiness, struggles, ridiculousness and contentment that we are striving and fighting for every day.
I also thought this could be a place where I can simply just be me with my love of my family, books, cooking, cleaning, writing, singing….. every facet of who I am. So I don’t know how often I am going to write yet, but I am going to write. I am going to use this as a means of therapy you might say. If you want to follow along, I welcome you on this journey.
Yay for you! You are such a beautiful mother, sister, daughter, wife, and wonderful friend to all that know you.

I know a couple of families that have done this while they were building and it was difficult but in many ways easier on the.

I have been thinking of you and wondering how you have been. Journaling really helps because you can vent and be real. When you look back at your first entries you will be able to see how far you have come and the progress you are making. I have some struggles of my own so have not been as helpful as I should be. This is your soft place to fall. Where people will not judge you and you can feel each kindred spirit pushing you on to fulfill your destiny. I am lifting you and your family up in prayer. I pray that the Lord will gather you up in his loving arms and make you feel His presence in a mighty way. That he will surround you and your family with His mightiest Warrior Angels to protect you. His Holy Spirit to guide you and give you His peace that surpasses all understanding. Remember the poem about the footprints….it is then that He carried you through the storm. Maybe He is testing you to see if you will turn to Him for wisdom and His strength. Just let go and let God! Sometimes you just cant do everything by yourself.
