Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party, 2009! The ladies at 5 Minutes for Mom's have created a great way for people to connect in the blog world. Click on the banner to learn more and join the party.
If you've joined me from the party, welcome! Let me introduce myself. I'm Melissa, the wife of Dear Husband, the stay at home mom of almost two year old Little Man, and a woman who desires to follow after God with all her heart. Since I stay at home a lot, blogging has done much to help keep me thinking and stay connected to people. I started blogging when Little Man was about to make his grand entrance to the world. Just this year I began this blog because I wanted a place where I could process and share what I was learning. I belong to a great body of believers, but felt that God was leading me to share in this arena. This blog is still growing; you might want to think of it in some kind of caterpillar stage. It's also a pretty serious site...sorry no giveaways, no cute themes yet, and lots of reading. Regardless, of how it changes, I want it always to be a place where you can find some encouragement by connecting to someone who's trying to be the woman God sees her to be.
You might want to check out these posts if you're interested in learning a little more about the site.

Let's Celebrate
Back to the party! There's nothing like having a reason to celebrate. Here's what I'm celebrating today:
1. I can see some brown grass and not just a foot of snow in my Maine front yard. AND the calendar says it's spring.
2. Little Man can say Thank You and said it to me on his own without any prompting when I have him some yogurt today.
3. Ice Cream---and the opening of our local ice cream location
4. My God who hasn't given up on me even when He needs to keep repeating the lessons He wants me to learn.
5. The Internet, which allows me to keep in touch with family and friends, and meet new folks like you!
Before you leave, I'm curious. What are you celebrating right now?

Looking forward to getting to know you.
Happy Celebrating.
Welcome to the party! I love your blog, I too am trying to be the woman God has created me to be, which is also why I blog... to share the love of Christ and His amazing grace, and hopefully to impart a hunger and thirst for Him and His Word!
So nice to meet you and I will be back!
Blessings!
Hello from a Very Windy Vegas!
I'm celebrating that our Heavenly Father is always generous. One definitely needs the Lord and the Word in this town.
I used to live in Portland for many years. I then met a Californian and the rest is history!
I hope that you're enjoying the UBP.
Have a terrific weekend!
Hi Melissa,
I'm celebrating the ultimate blog party too :)
But more importantly, my daughter is three weeks old today! She's a pretty special gift from God and we're so happy to celebrate every milestone.
I really liked your "Something to share with mom" post btw.
Hi, so nice to meet you! I'm definitely going to come back soon and read thru some of your posts... sounds like I definitely would enjoy reading!
Enjoy the party!
I'm celebrating finding so many great new blogs to read through the Ultimate Blog Party! I'm also a former elementary school teacher and current stay-at-home mom. Plan to visit your blog again!
Hi...over from the blog party. I'm picking blog names that catch my interest! I'm celebrating the fact that all my kids are home and safe tonight; also, that we all have good health, when so many others are suffering right now.
I, too, am a woman after God's heart. He is my life, my hope, my joy and my Peace in the journey.
Keep to the road. Keep to Him for always.
peace and blessings to you in your Sabbath rest~elaine
I am so glad I was led to your blog tonight. I too am trying to find God's will for my life and be the woman he intends for me to be. I will definitely be coming back to visit and follow your blog.
Blessings to you and your family!
Just popping in from the party links. I wish I was celebrating something today, but untimely news about a friend's dad dying has brought sadness to my soul. I can at least celebrate God's eternal salvation through Jesus Christ, that this man was saved, and that God's mercies are new every morning.
Blessings to you!
