ive often thought about this blog & how id love for it to be a space where i pour my heart out with honest vulnerability. but that's scary. since i was a young girl i loved writing words on paper about life, my thoughts, & my feelings. i have many paper journals to account for this. i think there's a part of us that longs to share our story, for memories sake..even if our only audience is the one who is writing their own life's story. so ive been pouring out my feelings & experiences on paper where i need not worry about being judged or silenced. it's been therapeutic & freeing.
my blog has been quiet for almost 3 months now. ive been spending some much needed quiet time with god. prayerfully asking him for discernment about what it looks like to lead a life of courage. 2014 has been full of quiet alone time & solitude, reconciling with myself, digging deeper in my faith so i can become who God designed to be.
much to often when im presented with challenges or when i don't know the answer i retreat to myself. not wanting to come out of my shell until ive "figured it out." but if theirs anything ive learned about this walk with christ..it's the importance of sharing. i have been blessed by words of encouragement & personal testimony that has tremendously transformed my heart & mind but ive done very little in the sharing aspect. it's taken years of being in bible study & small groups but it's only recently that ive begun to share & to expose a heart that is sometimes uncertain & distrustful of my own creator but hopes to love & grow through christ more daily.
