Why Blog?

 I have titled my blog- NapTime Nuggets because as a stay at home mom- naptime is really my only sanctuary. What "nuggets" might I share? Well, I've subtitled this: Mothering, Ministry and My Mary and Martha Struggle. I think those three topics pretty much sum up my life right now.

I will be sharing with you my journey as a young mom of two small children and how I view my job as a mother as my ultimate ministry- not that my children are my ALL or define who I am but I have a high view of the impact I can and should have on my children and thus choose to parent in a way that reveals who I really love and serve. I really love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ- when I say He is my Lord and Master, that is what I mean- I am under His Lordship and authority and my desire is that it would be evident to all who see me.

The second M is Ministry and this has to do with my life as a Pastor's Wife and my ministry to women. I am so passionate to see women find their joy and dreams fulfilled in the Only One who can really fill them- Christ. I love to help women understand the Scriptures and find the freedom they long.

Lastly, this has to do with my personal struggle of learning to serve like Martha yet not neglecting the "better thing" of sitting at Jesus' feet like Mary. I so want a heart of worship like Mary but I also want to serve the Lord well like Martha. Such a battle to learn the right combination of these two.
