I finally gave in to my husband and started a blog.  I sort of feel a little silly, or kind of like I am jumping on the band wagon, in participating in this new generation x type of therapy.  I am however hoping that this new way of journaling will help aide me in achieving a small portion of peace and serenity that I had during my pre children era.  Which wasn’t that long ago but seems like a lifetime ago.  I want this new journey to document my discoveries, my failures, and my achievements in motherhood, marriage, and life, but also provide tips to surviving the chaos the world throws our way.

What does selah mean?  The word “selah” is used frequently throughout the Psalms, and some scholars think it means ‘pause’ or ’silence’.  My desire is to start pausing and reflecting on what my current stage of life is teaching me.  Being a mother can at times bring out so much love, but at times it can bring out so much filth.  I want my kids to grow up remembering their days filled with love, not filth.  Take a selah and embark on a new journey for what life is intended to be, not what the world tells us it is.
