I'm Elaina. Welcome to my newest and most struggling journey ever... blogging about my heart. What exactly is my heart? Love... and doing it Boldly! So that I may Be the Blessing.
I've been married for 25 years and have 4 children. Two biological and two adopted, but you'd never know.
Loving others, especially those who persecute us is unnatural, it's hard work, and at times seems impossible. But that is my struggle. That is my heart. That is my journey.
It all comes down to this:
I grew up in a home that was difficult. I was around things that are most seen on TV-M and at least, TV-R. Although, my life did not reflect much Jesus, I grew up. I made choices and I've lived with consequences. I've also seen Jesus work in my life in ways that words can not explain. I was baptised as an adult and am not perfect. I'd love to say that I've always been a "practicing" Christian, truth is... I'm a sinner, daily given Grace and Mercy from a God who loved me and a Savior that died for me.
Even as a Christian, every day is tough. I’m faced with doubts, fears, and my own insecurities, and I expect no less of any other Christian. If you come here for judgement or to See what I believe about other's lifestyles of sin, you've come to the wrong place. I may post from time to time about sin and y struggles with what sin is, but I will do my best to go back to see what God's word says. We must stop fighting and start loving, for in Romans 3:23, Jesus says, "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard."
This blog is my attempt at thinking through challenging issues of faith, share my struggles, my dreams, my goals, my heart. I pray that some of the topics will help you understand more about the Lord and about how LOVE can supersede any hate in this world.
I hope that it will become a journal, which I can browse through over and over again, to see how God has used me and worked on me as the years pass.
Most topics you will see on this blog include:
- JESUS
- LIFE
- LOVE
- ORPHANS
- SPECIAL NEEDS
- MISSIONS (HERE AND ABROAD)
- GREAT STORIES
- THIS AND THAT
- PRAYER REQUESTS
- PRAISES
- --- And pray for me as I journey thorough our SECOND year homeschooling!!! Last year was a learning curve, but boy was it fun and insightful.
