Rolling out the new name. I wrote down all of my favorites last week and really thought and prayed about them.. What is the purpose of this blog? I dunno! HA! I hope that it can be a place of encouragement and laughter. I want it to be a place of reality as well. It is hard for me to be real in person. I can smile and pretend that things are just fine in person. I feel like in the blog world, I can write out my feelings much better. I can delete and think much more before hitting “publish”. Anyway, all of those factors were put into the name. Most of all, this is a mommy blog. I am a mommy. I love being mommy.. most days. π
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children[a] of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”
Psalm 127:3-5 (ESV)
I love arrows. I think that they are amazing.. so many designs, colors, etc. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be of four arrows. (I’m not getting one.. don’t worry.) I am the mother of FOUR blessings. It may not look the way I hoped, but I do have four babies. I just never got to meet one of them on this earth, but that does not take away from the fact that he or she IS STILL my child, and the love I have for that baby is strong. My love for all of my arrows is fierce.
For the record, I wanted just Four Arrows, but someone took it already. So, we keep our farm. It feels messy and stinky like a farm in our house… so it works. π Plus, I’d be all over owning some chickens so that we could always have farm fresh eggs!! Bring it on!
What do you think of the new name? I guess it doesn’t matter, because that’s it. π
