Introductions

I had the following 2 short paragraphs as info on me on a forum I frequent, and I thought it would be a good thing to copy and paste over here for those of you who don't know me that well. It's just a short blip about who I am and a few things I value.

My name is Sarah and my husband is Nathan. We are disciples of Christ. Our daughter Eva Esther was born July 9th, 2009. We are currently working on my immigration papers to move down to Montana. I am very much pro: natural childbirth, extended breastfeeding, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, attachment parenting, anti-spanking, baby-wearing, healthy eating, active living, and homeschooling. We love the Lord and strive to live as Jesus lived, believing that He set the perfect example of how to walk on this earth, loving those around us. We are not religious or legalistic. We are striving to be a grace-based family.

"To love, to love, to love. To hell with the rest." We strive to live with this as our life motto. Seems odd at first, but look again. If the action or word or motive in question is not done in love, then put it far from you. We beleive whole-heartedly in the 2 greatest commandments, "love God and love you neighbor". If it does neither, "to hell with it".

Well there you have it. The synopsis. I'll elaborate further later down the road on our life motto, as we beleive it to be foundational. For now, that was us in a nutshell.

Intro to Blog World

It seems odd to be doing this; writing to what appears to be the empty abyss of cyberworld; but I am hoping at least a few people find me here and read my musings lest I be reduced to typing into empty space. Which, I fear, may even be worse than talking to one's self. I hesitate to embark on this strange journey of "blogging", much like I hesitate to leave messages on answering machines when calling people on the phone. For reasons which I have yet to fully realise, I have always been mildly terrified of leaving messages, as it always leaves me with this lurking feeling of having spoken to no one, and therefore being either slightly insane, or worse; leaving open the possibility of being heard. Yes, I am slightly paranoid. So it should come to no surprise; to any of you who might be hearing me now; that this is a stretch for me when it comes to comfort zones. Yet here I am. Hoping to both keep the curious informed of where we are at in life and where God is taking us, and to have the option of tossing my musings to those of you who could feign being entertained by the debriefing of my mind.
