Welcome to Blessed and Blended!
Welcome to Blessed and Blended…a community for people who read our story….to give that space to have a moment to exhale…to settle in….to feel that sense of relief that you’re not alone.
C.S. Lewis says, “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.’” That is my prayer for this blog.
I’ve been married to my wonderful husband (Honyay) since 2011, and I’m mom-in-charge of a 19-year-old stepson (Captain Starburst), a 17-year-old adopted daughter (Lady M), and a 7-year-old biological daughter (Princess Milkface). Our blended family has been so blessed by God’s faithfulness in the midst of life’s trials, and I feel called to share these blessings through our stories.
There are sensitive topics that I plan to share, illustrating how God has blessed my family with our experiences and has been faithful in so many ways. For this reason, I will protect my children’s privacy by keeping this blog anonymous. It works out well because I’ve used these made up names within our home since, well….since we started our home in 2011!
I’m so thankful that you found me, and I pray that my testimony will give you moments of “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one,” that lead to a sense of connection, laughter, and hope in God’s blessings and faithfulness.
Grace and Peace,
Sharapu
