Introduction: April 19, 2008

I'm feeling inspired by Vicki Courtney and decided to start a blog. I'm an American expatriate (and no, that doesn't mean that I used to be patriotic) living in Singapore. I'm a Christian wife and mother who loves singing, Beth Moore, theatre, comedies, ballet, music, scrapbooking, reading, driving, and teenagers. I struggle with impatience, anger, resentment and insecurity. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, who came from Heaven to Earth to live a perfect life and die as a sacrifice for the sins of any who will accept His gift. I believe that all things in life work together for good for those who love Jesus and as the mother of a son with Down syndrome I can say unequivocally that God can and does bring victory out of defeat when we rely on Him.

I intend to use this blog to glorify God, encourage other Down syndrome moms, and brag on all three of my beautiful kids! I also hope to share a little bit about expat life and some of the privileges and challenges it offers. I hope those of you who end up reading this will enjoy the things you find here and that you will let me know when I succeed and when I fall short so that I can meet those goals!
