Today's the day I decided "I'm gonna start blogging...but for real this time." It's been something I've had an interest in doing for quite some time now, as thoughts about various things in life are constantly flowing through my head like syrup over waffles, filling every inch of open space. The concept of blogging seemed odd at first, publicly posting things about my life for others to read and form their own opinions about; however, looking at it now and after reading the blogs of others, I have found myself being immensely blessed in ways I never anticipated. They may never know, but through the words they've written I've found so much encouragement to strive to live my own life in a way that brings God glory in every moment--good or bad, flourishing or challenging--a life that makes God smile and say "Hey, that's my kid!" :)
I've found that I'm really not that good at verbally expressing the thoughts I have, as extroverted-ness is definitely not a quality I possess, and when it comes to organizing each thought (which are all mixed up and could come out a thousand different ways), there are times when I just fail at saying even part of what I had initially planned too. This is something anyone who has ever had any semi-lengthy conversation with me knows very well :) So writing is the way in which I can say what I need to coherently and completely, for my benefit as well as for everyone else :) And, as followers of Christ, we are called to join in fellowship with other believers, sharing how God is working in our lives, joining together in prayer and praise. Relationship is the greatest gift we have from God, first being our relationship with Him, and then the relationships we can have with others. This has become so clear to me just recently, as it become increasingly evident that there is no way that I will ever be able to do this on my own and I need those relationships more than anything.
That said, the journey shall begin. Not entirely sure how great I will be at being consistent, but we're gonna give it a shot :) I'm so excited to see how God will work and reveal Himself, even if it is only in my own life through this new experience. It is definitely a step in a different direction than anywhere I've ever gone before, but my hope is that it becomes an opportunity I look forward to and a blessing far beyond anything I expected :)
until next time... ♥ C
