Why Blog?

Why would I, a 54 year old married mother of two adult daughters decide to start a blog?

There are several answers to that question.

First, my oldest daughter, Kristen (24 years old) is leaving in 25 days for Peru where she will be doing missionary work for two years and three months. She has recently started a blog and I have been intrigued with the whole concept.

Second, I have no idea what to expect and how I am going to handle having my daughter in another country for over two years. My emotions are starting to run rampant and I thought this might be a good outlet.

Third, I lost my job 15 months ago and I'm having a hard time dealing with the lack of finances and the toll it has taken on my self-esteem.

And finally, I wanted to have a journal of my sprititual progress through this time of uncertainty in my life.
