Introducing Myself.

I've been writing in journals since grade school. It's always been a big part of my life. Being from my lowest to my best. So much has happened and so many things I'm ready to share.

For the past few months I've been reading stories, watching shows and movies, and even seeing ads about pursuing creative writing. It almost feels as if I've been having this calling to write something and publish it. I brought this up to my husband and we both went through a few ideas. He even mentioned how he had been thinking about an idea for writing children's books. Which I still plan on trying. Me and my husband have had many moments where I would have a dream about something or would be seeing something everywhere like what I mention in the paragraph above. That being one of the reasons we found maybe the reason we are meant for each other.

I plan on adding in many journal entries I've wrote over the years. Prepare yourselves. It's a roller-coaster, but it's going to feel so good to get out everything. Especially now that it feels like I'm not just spilling into a journal and throwing it away. Besides, isn't writing meant to be read?

I'm Jane. I'm in my late 20's with a loving husband, Eugene I, two wonderful-mean children, Eugene II age 5 and Ruby age 1, and a 7 year old dog that loves to get in the trash and gives sass, Dash. Our family continues to grow. Seeing our progression over the years is amazing. Sharing that with you is another thing in ready to do.

You'll notice that I rhyme regularly. But, I swear, I don't do it on purpose. I've been reading Dr. Suess books to my children often and have gotten to the point I've almost got them memorized. I've even been able to read them with rhythm the past few weeks.

Raising a family is a challenge and I'm sure every parent will say the same. In my blog I'll be sharing specific situations and struggles I've overcome. Maybe its not the way others would have worked through things, but eventually, it did work for my family. Maybe I can give someone an idea on how to approach a given situation and turn it into their own plan.

There are various things I already have posted. Those being finding faith, heartbreak, and finance. Though they have already been broken down into a fine explanation. I will be going into depth and personalizing those experiences starting with faith.

I know faith means different things to different people. But for me, it means finding God and putting faith in him. I've been reading the Bible, taking notes and already been able to use scripture in life lessons for myself. It's helped me through situations I wouldn't have been able to get through on my own without being guided in the wrong direction. Finding God again has been the best thing I've done other than making a family with my husband.

I get these dreams that I like to share with my husband because he's been able to interpret what they mean for me. In one dream, I seen my husband with the holy spirit in him then he takes me on a helicopter ride with him driving while I'm looking over the trees, a town and large open water behind that town. The feeling in the dream was that I felt safe with my husband and seeing that bright golden glow from the holy spirit being absorbed by Eugene had me in awe. When I woke up and told him about it. Eugene explained that I had just confirmed the path he must take. That he had been thinking and reminiscing on being a follower in Christ. That moment will forever stick with me. It was like a deeper connection I've hit with Eugene.

When I mentioned heartbreak. Its not quite the way that you would think. Its not like a breakup. But a form of loss. Being vulnerable around a person just for them to switch up on you, more like. This one may need to be is own post.

Financially it's been a challenge because me and my husband are doing this on our own. No help. No relatives we know even have enough knowledge to set us in the right path. We've only got one friend that's financially smart and we don't get to see each other often enough to talk things out with them that we've learned. Eventually I'll be making this into a post itself, but until then. It's not my main focus for my blog at the moment.
