We brought nothing into this world, so we can take nothing out. But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that. 1 Timothy 6:7-8
 
   Satisfied? That is one thing we are not. We are not satisfied….
   We take a vacation of a lifetime….. We satiate ourselves with sun, fun and good food. But we are not even on the way home before we dread the end of the trip and begin planning another.
   We are not satisfied.
   As a child we say, “If only I were a teenager.” As a teen we say, “If only I were an adult.” As an adult we say, “If only I was married.” As a spouse we say, “If only I had kids.”…..
   We are not satisfied. Contentment is a difficult virtue. Why?
   Because there is nothing on earth that can satisfy our deepest longing. We long to see God. The leaves of life are rustling with the rumor that we will—and we won’t be satisfied until we do.

Just wanted to say I am new to this blogging thing and still trying to wrap my head around it. I know this blog is pretty empty right now but I have plans to input a lot of information in the pages on the left hand side. Of course, the categories will fill with time. I have started to add some links so perhaps my blog can be of some help while I work on getting it going. I will be blogging about my life in general along with any thoughts or opinions I may have about what’s happening in the world. I will, also, be blogging about my cats which are huge part of my life, my life with juvenile diabetes/celiac/pernicious anemia/thyroid disease/rheumatoid arthritis, my devotion to God, and my inability to have children and how I have coped. Please check back in later as I hope I’ll be working on this blog daily. =)
