Private

I have officially made my blog private. So of the few who wanted to keep reading my blog, thanks! Now you get to keep up with my craziness.I decided to go private because I didn't like the idea that anyone could read my blog and look at pictures of my family. I didn't really like that. I also thought that now my blog is private that maybe I can be a little bit more open. Don't worry I won't be hanging all my dirty laundry out to dry, but before I never really talked about my church that often. I have to admit that I am not one of those Mormons who runs around letting everyone know that I am a Mormon and that I have a message to share. To be honest I don't like that style. But I have been afraid of what others might do or say if I talked about my religion. I think this stems back from jr. high. Such a horrible time. Anyway that was the last time that I was all about sharing my religion and I got reamed for it once or twice by some "friends". So I decided that I would try and live the best I could and if anyone was curious they could ask. Since then I have had a fair amount of good experiences sharing the gospel and I hope some good came from them. So you might be thinking "why are you going to be more open about your religion now that you have gone private?" The answer to that is for my family. This blog is my journal. I want my children to know what I believe and how I try to live what I believe. If they ever look back at this blog I don't want them to think "wow we went to church every Sunday but it must no have been that important because Mom never thought to write down anything about it." Maybe they won't think that maybe they will, but I want them to know that so much of who I am and how I want to raise them comes from my belief in Christ and his gospel. Okay now I am done being preachy preachy. (That is also another reason I never really blogged about church related stuff before, I don't like it when people try to show how good they are and how wonderfully they are living the gospel.) So hopefully I won't be preachy preachy, but I do want to share my testimony a tad more.
