First I want to explain why I have titled my blog Just Not Plain & Simple. I use to think of my self as a pretty simple person... Plain, no! Over there years I have learned I am not a simple person. The older I get the more OCD I am about things. I like my dishwasher loaded so that no dishes have to be washed by hand. I add more fabric softer to make sure that my clothes smell fresh and clean, and I DO NOT let my clothes sit in the washer for an extended period of time or I will rewash them. I have many Glade plug-in around my house cause I like my house to have a fresh clean smell.... even when it's dirty. Crazy I know. I have had many FB conversations about using fabric softener with your towels and how you shouldn't but smell is what I am going for. I even had a friend purchase a candle for and the name was clean cotton. So I am learning that I am no where near simple, not even close. Who knew?? Oh, and we all know that having 5 kids isn't simple either, but I think that goes without say. But, we all know that I am not a plain person or at least I don't think I am.
Second, the whole purpose for this blog is use it in a way that is encouraging to anyone who reads it but most of all women. Over time I have noticed more that women are my passion, I love hanging out with women & cutting up, but I can't stand the drama and I try to avoid it at all cost. I love to laugh and when I am laughing I can feel stress just melting away. I love encouraging women and I feel blessed and honored when women come to me for encouragement and even advise.
I am blessed to be apart of Heritage Baptist Women's Ministry along side some amazing women! But I do want to remind you that I am a woman like everyone else and human and I make mistakes, I have rough days, and I am emotional. I do take a lot of things personally even when they are not intended to be and I have for years. You know the song that you learned as a kid, "He's Still Working on Me"? I am still a work in progress and I will continue to be till the day I am standing face to face with my Lord.
I hope that everyone who reads my blogs will be blessed and encouraged by what I share and even get a giggle or two.
