New Heading...

To explain why my blog site seems to be ever-evolving...

I like change. I can't deny that. Same-ol' Same-ol' gets boring to me. That's why I am still moving furniture around 2 years after moving into our home. It's why I pour over hairstyling magazines, searching for my latest look. I like change. So thus, the reason why my blog keeps getting a face lift.

But to be honest, I never really liked the title "Meandering Thru."

When I first decided to start up a blog, I tried out at least 60 different title options. ALL of which were taken. So when I f-i-n-a-l-l-y came up with a title idea that wasn't taken, I latched onto it. Simply because I wanted to start blogging and stop messing with the title.

I felt justified in having that title because there are times where I tend to wander through life. Not really grabbing ahold of it, but just trying to get through it. There are days where all I can do I is count down the hours 'til my hubby comes home. Admittedly on those days, I don't care how the girls and I spend those hours of his absence, I just want them to pass. Quickly.

Who doesn't have those days?! But I don't want them to be the BANNER over my life, you know? I don't want to be known as the woman who is constantly meandering through life. Hello. Don't mind me. I'm just wandering here.

NO! I want to be someone who sets the captives free...who is a friend to the lonely...who serves my husband by taking care of the house and all that goes on in it...who blesses my children by teaching them with extravagant creativity. And who, when the Lord looks on the earth, will catch the eye of the Father as someone who will intercede.

I want to cause a stir in the heavenlies with powerful prayer. wholehearted worship of the Lord. dedicated discipleship of my daughters and all those who the Lord brings to my door. and a heart full of unconditional, unwavering love. A weapon that cannot be comprehended or defeated by the Enemy.

I want my life to matter. On this earth, yes. But also in a world unseen. Where the real battles are fought.

So there you have it ...the reason why my site now looks different. Because hopefully, my heart, before the Lord, bears the same change.

It's an actual picture of an Aurora. God's very own personal display of a heavenly stirring. ;)

extravagant creativity.... I like that! Not being very talented in that department, I have always prayed for more of it.... And God has answered.... we're on a an 'as needed basis'.... He provides the creativity 'as needed'. :)

Love the new look too!
