Introducing Lite of Dawn- The Blog

Huh?  I created a blog.  Have no idea how often or what I'll write and don't feel like I'm that great of a writer.  I  think it will be more like random thoughts on a subject or subjects.  But here it is..........

I feel like the last one on the planet to create a blog.  I remember several years ago when my sweet husband first said the word "blog" to me. I had no idea what he was talking about!!!

Lite of Dawn - I use it for my email address & now this blog title.  I used to sign my work emails "Let your light shine".  I first used "liteofdawn" when I was selling candles.  And hey, my name means "sunrise, daybreak".

Something about lite/ light that I think is important.  I think we all have light to shine into the dark places in this world.  I think the Creator asks us to share that light with others.  There is something magnificent about the sunrise & start of the day. It's my favorite time of day- a refreshing chance to start again & leave all of yesterday's troubles behind.  Have you ever experienced the beauty of a sunrise up in the mountains?  WOW- God has a wonderful paintbrush & he paints for us beautiful scenes every day if we would just open our eyes & look around!

A little about me--I've been married to my best friend and love of my life for 16 years now .  We're both Floridians, Orlando-ans too.  We have been blessed with a beautiful 29 month old daughter and another child on the way in May/June 2012.  I love the Lord and desire to learn more about Him  & seek to serve & obey Him through His Word.  I desire to be a godly wife & mother.  If you do the math, we were married for 14 years before having a child.  We spent a lot of this time traveling to amusement parks & riding roller coasters! I worked full time at Rollins College for nearly 13 years in Human Resources.  Now I am a professional wife & mother & LOVE IT!!!!   I will share stories of this newer life on this blog as well as reflect on years past.

So I hope you learn a little about my life from this blog and I hope you are encouraged to find your light & let it shine!
