Showin' some love.

I have moments daily when God does something that grabs my attention and either makes me laugh, shed a tear or two, or go "hmm." I love it when that happens. I love how God is so personal that He notices me, and wants me. I love how I can carry a thought it my mind for a while and bam, there God is again confirming it through a song, a spoken word, and my favorite; reading about it during my devotional time! I love how God is so ever patient with me and teaches me patience when I try to be more like Him. Anndd it actually works :) I love that God makes an effort to communicate with me. I love it even more when it catches me off guard. I love it that God wants to meet the desires of my heart, and does. I love it when God puts something on my heart to do and the feeling of excitement that follows. I do not however, love it when Satan TRIES to make me fearful :). I love it that God's ways are higher than mine, and better too. I love it when I go to church and somehow God tells the pastor EVERYthing that's on my mind that I need and want to hear. I love how I am one person out of billions, but God makes me feel like I'm the only one.

I love this eventful journey that God has place my family on. I love that God has helped me to finally shut one door (and let go of the door knob) so I can fully focus my attention on what He has called us to now. I love the peace I find in this. I love the fact that God has completely removed me from my comfort zone... and, I love the fact that I'm finally ok with it :). I really love how as I type this, fear and doubt are trying their best to take over... but it's not working!

Guess that's enough love for now!

There's a first time for everything...

Well. Here I go... sharing my heart, thoughts, stories, wisdom (ha!), and whatev's. I have always been better at writing down my feelings and thoughts rather than saying them, and it has always worked in my favor. I know, I know, it's better to not coward down and just out right say how you feel, but gosh darn it that is just too difficult sometimes! I haven't started this blog thing to use a grip session by any means, I just thought I would give a little insight to the world of me and how I work! Really. Making time to sit down and read my bible is so difficult somedays. But here lately I've tried to grab a pen and paper because it helps if I start writing out what I have read or sometimes right out my prayer rather than saying it. See, I told you! God understands, we're cool like that and as long as I say it out loud it's the same thing, right?! He knows my heart. Anyway... so I have notes and scratch pieces of paper tucked away that eventually get lost in the shuffle. Then I had the thought "why don't I start writing more... not just my daily devo stuff, but stuff in general." Olivia is constantly keeping me laughing, so why not share! Not that anyone else really cares. But why is it that we find ourselves so tangled up in other people's lives, blogs, or Facebook? Because (insert long pause) for some strange reason we do care. Maybe some people are just out right nosey, or we're all looking for something in each other that makes us feel a little better about ourselves. That can be a negative problem, but at the same time it can be beneficial. God has placed many people in my life that I have learned from and I'm so grateful for it.

Back to the real reason... I don't really know why I'm on the trend of "blogging" other than I just might have something to say. So watch out now!! I may be quiet, but I can talk a lot and real fast at that!
