Wanting to become a blogger for me has been a challenge to begin. My two concerns were, "What do I say?" and "Where do I find a decent picture of myself?" Moms are always the ones taking the pictures. Everyone wants to look good on their first blog, right? My blog will mostly be about my life as a woman married to an ADHD man and as a mom raising an ADD daughter (Emeline 8), an ADHD son (Sam 7) and a non ADD son so far (Zachary 5). I’m praying that as I share some of the challenges and successes that it will encourage other moms...and that it will help me too!
My life is challenging on a daily basis. There are many days I laugh hysterically and many days when I cry. I have been exposed to many resources to help my family and I believe God is leading me to reach out and share my life with other moms out there looking for a little encouragement along the way. I’ve often thought it would be great to know others who share my similar life circumstances. One thing I must say up front is that I choose to live life looking for the good in everything, that goes for both relationships and circumstances. The only person that can help me do this is God and lots of prayer. He never ceases to amaze me that He truly does guide and direct us if we ask Him.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28

Dear Debbie, Steve, Emeline, Sam, and Zachary,

Debbie,
For a long time now I have listened to you tell of your trials and tribulations while laughing hysterically on the other end of the phone. I wanted to be sensitive and supportive but couldn't stop laughing. I know God has blessed you with a great sense that there is hummor in the tragedy of life. Life is full of questions but never without humor. I am reminded of Rilke's line of "living the questions." Deb you are living the questions of life with grace and a good laugh. Keep writing. This is the first stop on the road to a stand-up comedy routine.
Love,
Bridget
