Speak my Peace

I'm back...after a reallllyyyy long break.  Yet my heart has desired to write continually.  My blog experience has a restart this evening...as do so many things in my life -- thanks to the Grace of God.  Seriously - only Jesus has enough grace for our lifetimes.  I begin writing and don't know where this shall lead.  I write why?  God has placed this talent within me and I must use it for His glory.  I know I have some close friends that are English majors and may critique...yet I shall do my best to convey a message that God puts within me without too many errors.  Forgive me now for the days that they crop up.  I speak as a woman of God - humbly called to serve an amazing and everlasting Jesus.  I speak as a mother to two precious boys and pray that my mothering for others continues to expand.  I speak as a wife - an army wife and now a law enforcement officer's wife.  I speak as a 'cool white girl' married to an awesome Puerto Rican (that's what I have been called in the past).  I speak as a Conservative living in the greatest nation on earth that I see bowing daily to a small percentage of  voices in many topics, but shout so loud that others can't hear themselves breathe.  I speak as a friend that has been called on many times to lead others through their thoughts and emotions.  I speak as a person that has seen an adversity in my life story that allows me to say -- you can do this -- you must keep going.  I speak because I feel that God has placed this voice inside of me -- a balanced voice of reason -- that never wants to offend, but strives to speak Truth.  so...I speak my peace tonight and look forward to more blogs/discussion in the future.
