Long Time No Blog

It is hard to admit this but I have really neglected this blog. I knew it deep down but I have had a million excuses for why I have not been writing.  Moreover, I have neglected God's continual prompting to keep sharing what I am learning from Him through my journey of grief, healing and continuing to build this new life.  Recently a friend reminded me that I told her a while ago "God hasn't been teaching me all these things to keep them to myself". Ouch... I have totally been keeping things to myself.

I guess it is easier to not talk about the hard things, to hold them in. Holding tightly to my hurts and fears has become a new habit and it feels like it takes a lot more effort to recount the joys and praises too.  Earlier this year I felt God speaking over and over to me- "Tell you story- Tell MY story of who I have become in your life".

So in an effort to be more obedient and less selfish, I am back to this blog. I have been recounting a few things on Facebook over the past four years, but I realize that I need to record things in a more organized and permanent place than random Facebook posts. I am in the process of transferring some of those posts over that were about more pivotal things from the past few years. I am wondering where the rest of the story will come from - but I have a feeling the pile of dusty journals that I have filled over the past 6 years may play a part in that...

Stay tuned and thanks for reading.
