The first post


I used to be a very avid blogger but I stopped when I met my future husband (since my old blog was a waiting for a missionary blog) .  Anyways, I wanted to start again because I am a horrible journal writer; I want so badly for my kids to have something to read about my younger years.  I'm hoping that this will be something that will help them get through tribulation, and any problems that they will have, they'll be able to read my words and my thoughts and see that their mom went through the same thing and grow from that.  But kids will be kids and they will decide on what they will experience, I just want to help at least in some little part. In 1 Nephi 1:1,3 it says,

 “Having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. …
“And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge..."

Everything that I write in here is going to be true, (just a little disclaimer).  Names may be changed and such, but I want to tell my life, not the flashy and adorned version that I give to other people, the truth.  It'll probably be hard to do, but anything worth doing isn't easy.  So here goes blogging, if you're reading this, then you are part of that privy group I've allowed to view these proceedings.  I am hoping that all of my writings will be filled with happiness, but you and I both know that that is in no way going to be the case.  Besides, I suppose if it was all happy, it would get pretty boring!  Well here goes my new life as Samantha Jean Davis!
