It’s a Party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Welcome to this place my thoughts call home, the pages of my heart. Please, make yourself at home.  I am fairly new here myself, but I’m sure we’ll soon get to know each other and get along fine!

Let’s see. . . I suppose I should introduce myself. I am wife to a good man who loves me no matter how crazy I can be.  Just for that fact, I’ll say he is an incredible man! I am also the mother to three precious children.  We live out our days in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada, educating at home, imagining wild adventures outdoors and enjoying freedom in Christ.

Much of this blog  is dedicated to the things I learn raising adopted children and living with Fibromyalgia. I get excited about the things I learn in scripture and often choose to share those lessons. Just recently, I began sharing my story of spiritual abuse and my journey to healing.  My thoughts tend to wander from here to there.  Overall, this blog is about my life in Christ and the things he pens on my heart. . . the lessons I learn in the journey.

Now, how about you?  Won’t you please tell me about yourself?

I hope that you will choose to sit a while or come back soon to look through the pages of my heart.

You are always welcome here!

    Hi Tereasa, I’ve been wandering around your lovely blog, and finding that we have a couple of things in common: I have fibromyalgia, too; and I am an adoptive mom. :)

    One thing about those issues – we could not make it without the Lord, amen?!! He is so good to meet each need.

    I’ve followed you on Twitter so that I can keep up with you. I’m @ObtainingMercy there.

    In Him,
    Alesha Kay

    I’m so glad to have found your blog here. We’re in the process of adopting so your adoption posts were of particular interest to me. “The way to their hearts” was especially good in my opinion. I look forward to reading the rest of your insight. Nice to “meet” you!

    Tereasa, I love your blog and that you are an adopter of lovely children. I am stepmom to an adopted daughter (now grown) but I know that it takes much from your heart to reach out to the children who need a home. I also have suffered from fibromyalgia and we can share about that too. Although not a victim of spiritual abuse, I’m a victim of verbal and emotional abuse from a parent and know that hidden scars are as painful as the scars of visible abuses. Take heart . . . we’ll journey together. I’ll be following you!

    • Tereasa

      Thank you for your kinds words and encouragement, Sherrey. It is so nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing more of you!
