Ultimate Blog Party 2010: #UBP10

Posted by The Proverbs Wife on April 09th, 2010 in Uncategorized

My name is Saidah (pronounced Si-e-da) and I am married to the greatest man I know besides Jesus Christ. I am mom to 4 beautiful children whom I love deeply. I have two daughters ages 16 and 7, and two sons age 9 and 6.

My goal as a Christian is to bring joy the the Lord in all that I do. My goal as a wife is to love my husband and children with all that I am. My goal as a blogger is to share my experiences in an effort to get it all out of my head and onto paper per se in and effort to maintain my sanity.

I am a pioneer of sorts. I will be the first one of my families many generations to be completely sold out to Jesus, soon to be 100% debt free, totally against divorce and a homeschooling momma.

It’s been a tremendous journey. It’s a ongoing journey that I share here on my blog. I am a sinner who is saved by Grace. I love the Lord above all else. I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, a teacher and a role model.

You should read my blog if you are looking for an inspirational place to grow as a productive wife and mom.

I’m a mom of 4 also! What an adventure. That I know of, I’m the first in my family who has a personal relationship with the Lord and am thankful it’s been passed on to my children. I would love to be debt free some day. We are currently without any credit cards so that is a start!

I’ve been following you on Twitter for awhile, but it’s nice to learn more about you!
A little about me: I’m a homeschooling SAHM mom of two littles (3 & 1.5). I’m a born-again Christian, and I’m currently working on my MA in Ministry. I’m not your typical “mommy blogger”, but I enjoy reading mommy blogs just the same.
Happy UBP!!

Your so very welcome. I’m so glad that you stopped by. I wasn’t sure how many people had a Kroger nearby but I’m glad that someone did. So far only you and 2 other people listed the card as their top choice so keep your fingers crossed. I’ll just be happy if I win any of the items I chose. It so nice to meet you.
