I have kept a family blog for years.  However, when I decided that I was going to have an on-line photography presence, I took my family blog private.

Actually, I think I took it private about a month after writing a post about living our lives to bring Glory to God.

Over the past few months, a thought has been gnawing away at the back of my soul saying, “How is a private blog allowing your family’s journey to bring Glory to God?”

So, I sit here, typing out this first blog post for “D’Lifefully Transparent”.

We are a family in transition.  JR is in school to get his Masters of Divinity at Harding Graduate School of Religion.  Gideon started Carpenter’s Kids this fall.  Naomi adds new words to her vocabulary every day.  And I am learning the art of being God’s first, a wife to a husband who lives in another state for half the week, a mother of 2 toddlers, a photographer, and a children’s director.  And we are living in my (more than gracious) parent’s house which means that I’m also a daughter and a cousin.

I make many mistakes.  I have many successes.

And here, on this blog, I will live my life in transparency so that by my life and the life of my family, we may bring more Glory to God.
