So it has been a while since I have blogged...I only posted one blog since I started this thing, but hey, small beginnings even though they were a few years apart.
Anyway, so much has happened in my life even since the last post that I actually really want to start blogging again, and share the things that are precious to me, with the world, yes I did well say that...my deep thoughts are for the public's eyes to read - whoever you are, friend, family, acquaintance or a random arrival.
As I was reading someone else's blog today...I realized yet again that I have something to share with you all - the deep crevices of my heart are wanting to reveal hope to the souls that have been convinced, through emotion and feeling, words or acts, that there is no hope. But I want to say that there is hope where you feel troubled...where you are either in that valley, or you are frustrated over the smallest relational pattern that seems to get in your way all the time! I am by no means saying I have the answers, but I am saying that I have something to say. If it means that I write it on here, talk with a friend over coffee, or dinner, so be it. I also am not saying that I have it all together, because I definitely do not have it all together, but as I have come to accept my brokenness, my story and my experiences in life, I have also come in touch with an ever increasing sense of who I am in the presence of an Almighty God, even in my weaknesses, in my trouble, and anxieties, he is still my refuge and he is still trustworthy. And it is in that place that I am once again awakened to my spiritual citizenship, by knowing that I look ahead to the race marked out, yet gaining healing from the things that have gone before.
So...from now on, I want to share with you, my heart, my story, my day. Let the world see that I have not given up on life even though I have felt it has ripped me from it's foundation at times. I am getting up, again, with a fire that is burning in my innermost being, and as a woman, grasping how much she is wholly and dearly loved, through the intimacy of her Abba Father. It has not been easy, but this life so far, as a 25 year old, has been one of intense despair and pain, with situations that words cannot express the feeling the experience brings. BUT, I am still here, and that is reason enough to speak, act, and share what I have learnt. I believe it can help you too.
