Hello My Name is...

Matthew West: Hello My Name is

Hello, my name is regret

I'm pretty sure we have met

Every single day of your life

I'm the whisper inside

That won't let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat

I know you recognize me

Just when you think you can win

I'll drag you right back down again

‘Til you've lost all belief

These are the voices, these are the lies

And I have believed them, for the very last time

Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I've been saved, I've been changed, 

And I have been set free

“Amazing Grace” is the song I sing

Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am no longer defined

By all the wreckage behind

The one who makes all things new

Has proven it's true

Just take a look at my life

What love the Father has lavished upon us

That we should be called His children

I am a child of the one true King

Please allow me to introduce myself.  Hello my name is Brandi.  I am a Christian homemaker, wistful writer, born-again blogger and an aspiring author.  I'm married to my best friend and a mom of two. I have a love/hate relationship with cooking; some days I feel like an amazing chef but, other days I'm more of a fast food queen! I love to bake sweet treats for my family, almost as much as I love to eat them myself.  I have a serious sweet tooth! (oh and I love carbs!) I love to have a clean organized home, but I don't always have the energy to keep it that way.  (ahem...like now...dishes are piled high and the washer beeped hours ago!) I love artsy stuff but up until now I lacked the self confidence necessary to brave following my artistic side.  With my new found courage I have grand plans to try my hand at ceramics; I long to throw clay onto a spinning wheel and form beautiful pieces of pottery. I want to learn brush strokes; and splash colors onto canvas to create paintings of  breath-taking scenery.  And I need to learn how to still my hands in order to capture purposeful photographs of the beauty I see around me. 

I've made it through the long harsh winters of my life; the seasons of pain.  And this is the spring of new life; as beauty blooms. Welcome to my place to bloom. My hope is to bloom beauty into other's lives as I share the beauty that has blossomed in my life.
