Welcome to Blessed and Believing!

          My name is Tonya and I am just as the blog title suggest, blessed and believing! I am continually blessed by the Lord daily and believe what the Word says in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." 
          I have been entrusted by the Lord to be the wife of an amazing husband, the mother of 5 beautiful children and a children's pastor at a wonderful church. This blog is something I have felt led to do many times, but for some reason (usually lack of time) not done so. Today, however, I feel extremely compelled to commit to this adventure and share with you all my heart in regards to three aspects of life that are my entire being, serving the Lord, being a wife and a mother. 
          I hope that somehow each post I compose will in some way help someone be a stronger Christian, Wife and/or Mother. May the Lord Bless you and your journey through life always be pleasing to Him!
