I am Erin and I have been writing this blog since Spring of 2009. It began as a way to keep track of the progresses of my daughter (Delaney, born 7/25/08) and other family memories. I quickly learned that I loved to write. I am married to Matt (since 2006), and we have our beautiful daughter Delaney, and puggle Piper. I recently finished my Masters in Business Administration and work as an Internal Auditor at a Bank. Matt is finishing his Masters in Divinity and will graduate in December 2009. We strive to live godly lives, and inspire others around us to live godly lives as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why do I still blog?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I realized that blogging was a great way to stay accountable for&amp;nbsp;commitments&amp;nbsp;that I had made. At the beginning of 2009, I committed to get healthy. I wanted to lose about 10lbs, and live a healthier life. Blogging helped me with my workouts and eating habits, because I knew I had to write about them! I didn't want my readers to think I was a slacker! Since the beginning of 2009, I have lost 25 lbs. and am back to the weight I was in high school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogging has also helped me in my spiritual life. I also committed to living a life fully dependent on God. For me, this meant&amp;nbsp;actively&amp;nbsp;spending time in prayer and Bible study daily, cutting out the majority of what I watched on TV, getting involved in teaching at church, and reading Christian books. I love to write about the things that I learn and the things I struggle with. My biggest goal would be that God would use this blog to speak to others and teach them about Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contact Me&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to email me at &lt;a href="mailto:erinleamoore@gmail.com"&gt;erinleamoore@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; and follow me on Twitter @erinleamoore.
