The beginning of a new journal is always exciting for me. To be honest, the most exciting part is picking out a brand new journal and then flipping through the empty crisp pages. Actually documenting my journey through life is another story. Oh, how to explain that which you are still trying to understand. I am still in amazement at the twists and turns my life has taken and what I believe my future holds. I never could have foreseen the past few years but I would not change a thing. That does not mean that I do not hope for further growth in my life. One thing I know is that when thinking about my past, present and future I can't help but be grateful. I am grateful to God for the people who He has placed in my life... my family, my friends as well as the difficult people who have challenged me and helped me to grow. This blog will be a good stretch for me. When you write about yourself and make yourself vulnerable in this way it can't help but challenge you to really think about what you are putting out there for all to read, how you explain what you are doing with your life and what you say you believe. Also, one can only hope to be as open and honest about the events of their life as possible without exposing others confidence. My hope is that you, who might be too far away to talk to on a daily basis, will have a chance, if you so desire, to get to know a little more about my life and the ministry I am involved in. I also hope that as you read about this simple finite woman it will be evident that the Creator of the world and the "lover of my soul" has been wonderfully faithful to me. It is because of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, that I even have a desire to share my story. If this was just about me there wouldn't be much to say. He is the (my true) beginning and...The End.
