Interview with Sandy Youmans from “Grace For Mom”
“Grace For Mom”
I blog because I initially found mothering a huge challenge (not to say that it still doesn’t have its challenges) and I want to encourage moms like me. The thing I have learned most about being a mom is my need to depend on God. Anything I get right as a mom is because of God’s grace, wisdom, and guidance; I want to give Him the credit He is due.
I started blogging about a year ago. I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy it or I would have started sooner.
My three beautiful children and my quest to be a godly (but still imperfect) mom. God’s grace for me as a mom. Please see http://www.graceformom.com
I first heard about blogging at a Writers’ Conference. My initial reaction was, “Why would anyone want to read about someone else’s life?” But then I read a few very inspiring blogs and I got it. Words are very powerful and can be used for good. They have the power to offer hope, encouragement, and life to others, especially when they need it the most.
Blogging has helped me more disciplined with my writing. It has also encouraged me to look for God’s grace in the ordinary events of daily life as a mom. I’ve had a lot of “aha!” moments because I blog.
