So what is this?

Welcome to Seven Moms. We are seven friends that regularly share our life stress and chaos, prayer requests, and general vent-type stuff with each other. One friend said, "Hey, I think we have a bunch of wisdom that we can share with other people. Why don't we start a blog?"

We write just once a month, all on the same topic, and no one sees the others' blog posts until they are posted here, to remove that awful comparison monster and to let the Holy Spirit do His thing. Some months we only have five posts, some we have all seven. But in the midst of life, sometimes posts don't get written. And if we are one thing, we are real.

So here we are. We don't have all the answers, but we do love people and Jesus with pretty much all we have. Enjoy our blogs and let us know what you think, either by leaving a comment or emailing us at sevenmomsblog@gmail.com. Thanks!

New Beginnings -- Grace

Not only am I beginning a new year, 2014, I am beginning "a new season", or so I'm told, of my life.  Yikes! I have turned 50 years old.  I can't believe it but after checking my drivers' license, it has been confirmed.....I am indeed 50.
My emotions go back and forth between being so grateful to God for so many years of blessings these past 50 years, to feeling somewhat depressed that I'm getting old!  I know what you are probably thinking......having another birthday is much, much better than the alternative.....not having ANY more birthdays.  :)
I am thankful for a new year, a new beginning, and a fresh start.  The wonderful thing about my Savior, however, is HE is always ready and willing to give us a new beginning.  A fresh start.  A re-do.  A do-over.  Whatever you want to call it.  I call it grace.  And mercy. And wonderful.  
It doesn't even have to be January.  He stands ready to forgive me, take me back into His arms, and give me another chance.  Repeatedly.
Now that's what I call a New Beginning!
