About a year ago a friend suggested that I start a blog about my life’s journey.  I’ll admit I’ve tried to blog before, but only to abandon every attempt!  Ever since that conversation with my friend, though, I’ve been pondering starting yet another blog. Today my wonderful husband brought up “the blog” again and suggested I just get started.  I guess that was just the push I needed because here we are!

This thing called “life” is most definitely a journey.  Some days this journey is easy, joyful and amazing; other days it’s hard, painful and a struggle to just keep moving.  But, that’s life.  It’s how we grow.  It’s how we see what’s really inside of us.  It’s how we go deeper into who our amazing God really is and how we become more resolved and convinced of His goodness and faithfulness than ever before.  Sometimes I have an amazing level of grace to keep sight of that; other times not so much.  In the end I know every day and every moment of this journey will be worth it (I just have to remind myself of that…sometimes a lot)!

I hope this blog will not only be an outlet and a reminder to me of where I’ve been, but that it will also help others process their own thoughts and life.  While I think a lot, unless timing and circumstances are just right I tend to have a hard time expressing myself to others.  It’s rare for me to be able to share the depth of my thought with those around me while in a conversation…especially an off the cuff, quick response type of conversation/questioning.  I’m hoping that writing on this blog while my heart is in the midst of churning over life’s joys and struggles, my own realizations about God and life sink in to deeper level in my own heart.  I hope it will also help those around me understand where I’m coming from…and maybe, just maybe, help someone else walking through their own journey see God and life in a new way.

So, this blog has begun.  Off to live life’s journey and will be back to share some musings along the way…
