The First Post

Well, I didn't think I'd start another blog. However, I've had soo much fun with my cooking blog that I decided to give this a go. I really wanted something that would capture more of our life. So, this blog, Shepherding My Sheep, is about our family. At this point, I'm not sure who will be reading because I haven't decided to open it up! But, it's a record of our daily life ... the joys and struggles of raising our little flock to love life and the author of life, our Lord. The references to shepherd and sheep are numerous in the bible, and I have a special regard for sheep as animals, too. Sheep are stubborn, don't like change (that's not necessarily me, but for sure some of our family members would fit that description!), like to follow a leader, are loyal, and need protection at times. There are many similarities between Christ's followers and a flock of sheep, thus the name of this blog. I'm trying to 'shepherd' my little flock to know and love Christ - this is my vocation.
