Hi! My name is Cheryl Turman and this is my first blog ever! I am a mom to two boys Andy and Jacob! I have been married to my husband Kevin for 18 years! The title of this blog came to me the other day as I was chatting with my sweet prayer partner in our bible study group. I had just read hers and she asked if I did one. I have always wanted to do one, but doubt and fear always stopped me. I'm not very computer savvy, I'm not a writer, I just can't put out there my thoughts! What will people think of me? But that shouldn't be my focus, only God should be. When I told my sweet sister I would do a blog when the Lord laid it on my heart. As soon as I sent the message, He showed up! I then had those nagging doubts of I can't, it's too hard, too personal, and I don't even have a good blog name like others I've enjoyed reading. But He reminded me I am just as I am and I am loved no matter what! This was also the song playing at a revival where I first accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior! So do not throw away your confidence;it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36. I pray that I always rely on Him and not throw away what He has given! This blog may not have all the bells and whistles, or the best writing, but it is just as I am!
