Welcome Old and New Friends!

Welcome to my blog! I can't believe that I'm finally doing this! I'm so excited to be here and that you are here too! I get so much enjoyment and encouragement from reading other people's blogs and online devotions. My hope is that I can offer that same type of encouragement to others that find me online!

The title from my blog came from a favorite saying which I have been known to quote to my children occasionally... "Life is not the destination, it's the journey". I have shared this with them on long trips when I hear the infamous "Are we almost there?" question, as well as at times when I want them to live "in the moment" rather than focusing on an uncertainty in the future.

However, in my blog, I want to focus on both the Journey AND the Destination. I think both are extremely important.

My hope is to share with you tidbits about my Journey and to hear from you about yours. I find it very encouraging, as a mom and wife with a great passion for both, to know that I am not alone in my struggles and in my joys. I get so many great ideas and so much strength from others out there that are on similar Journeys.

And when sharing about our Journeys, I never want to lose sight of our Destination, which I can say with utmost certainty is eternal life in Heaven with my Savior because He promised me that future when I gave my life to Him.

I want to thank you so much for joining me on my Journey and allowing me to join you on yours! I hope that I can be an encourager to you on your Journey and that we will someday meet in the Ultimate Destination...Heaven!

For His Glory,
Karen
