New Approach

I have decided that it's a new year, and so I will try a new approach to blogging. Less talk about just my boring same-old, same-old life, more writing about the things that matter to me. My goal is to be more relational. Though I'm living in a kind of strange, limbo time in life that is occasionally interesting, I have a desire to draw people in through my writing and have content that people can actually relate to. I want to spark conversation, to spur intrigue. I'm sure you'll still get an occasional peak into the goings on of my life, but it won't be constant and in every post.

As I was tinkering with these ideas last night before bed, I heard the same sound I hear each and every night at bedtime as my husband turned on his amp and tuned up his electric guitar. Each night my husband begins the nightly routine and gets ready for bed before I do, then sits down to unwind and play the guitar. Each night I am serenaded with a few rock songs, and also some beautiful hymns that my husband plays as inspired. I love hearing his interpretation of how to play them, and relax as I get ready and listen to his private, heartfelt bedtime worship.

After I'm ready for bed, we read our Bible passage, do a devotion from our Love Languages devo book, then pray and say goodnight. And that is just one more reason why I call my husband Mr. Wonderful. He's not only a helpful resource around the house, a kind, loving companion, but also my faithful spiritual leader.

Who's the most influential person in your life right now?
