Well hello there,

So, back when I had only four boys (I know, as if any should ever say "only four") I started a blog. Then I had boy #5, and I stopped blogging. I tried picking it up again, and that bombed, who had time? Well now I am divorced, I still have five boys, a house, a dog, a car that is far from new, two jobs, and a whole lot of chaos in my life.

But it's good chaos. It's the kind of chaos that brings peace, which is probably hard for anyone with two or less children at home to understand, and yet somewhere out there a mom of a large family is nodding her head, getting it.

A few years ago I had experiences that taught me about the reality of God, and the immeasurable love He has for each of His children, all of us who walk this wonderful Earth.  I learned about the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and while I still cannot comprehend it's depth and breadth, I know it is indeed real.  Those experiences I wrote about before when I blogged, and can be found online still, at BetweenYouMeAndTheFencepost.blogspot.com.  I would have continued there, but I was unable to make the layout changes that I wanted, and so now I am here.

New life, new blog. I am not the same mother of five I was, nor am I the same disciple of Christ.  I have learned a lot about turning to the Lord from my divorce. I have learned about not being enough, as a human being, to do all that is necessary of me.  This is what I told God on my knees the night my husband left for good. I am not enough for these children. Please, make me enough, because I know that through You, humans can do, or be, anything that You require.  So now, here I am, new blog, new look, same name, same me... but not.  There are a lot of experiences I have had, and am going to have, that I would like to tell you about, cyber world.  I have a new favorite quote for my life, it's from of all places David Bowie! He says, "I can't promise where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring!" Join me, wherever we end up I doubt we will be bored!
