  Well, this is my first blog. I am sure that everyone says that at the beginning. So much for originality. Oh well. Being a stay at home mom, with our almost 5 month old, means that I do not get a lot of time to see other adults, talk with them, etc. I guess this is going to become my outlit for venting and feeling like I am a whole person again. It is funny, but when you become a mom, you begin to look at things in a whole new way. Instead of thinking about yourself and what you want and need, you have to think about another person.
Questions change from what am I going to do today, to what is my sons mood going to be; when will he eat; what will he need; etc. It is nice to be needed so much. It is nice to think of another person before yourself. It puts life into perspective. I guess it is God using my son to teach me to practice Philippians 2:3-4: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourseves.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. " This is such an important part of my life right now. I guess each blog will probably bore you with thoughts about my son (Aidan) and what he is doing. I guess I should have called this Aidans brag blog. But, I chose Mountain Peak because I hope that it gives you all a place to come, read and enjoy, just like a mountain peak. I also love the mountains. My key verses for this blog is Micah 4:1-5 which talk about The Mountain of the Lord.
On it we will all be together, getting along with each other, nation with nation, man with man. War will be over. Specifically verse 2: "Many nations will come land say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths. '" May you find rest and restoration today in your walks of life. Love, Manders
