So far

I wondered what I would write about. I had no idea.
However, in just one month I've noticed a pattern.
I'm sharing my past, as well as my present. I'm sharing the funny and
the sad, my memories and my dreams.
I've noticed that my particular brand of humor
is infiltrating these pages. I've also noticed that my deep love for God
and my relationship with Him comes through.

I haven't minded telling you about me—as a real person with faults,
weaknesses, frailties, and fears.
I've told you about my love for my husband, children, and
grandchildren. I've been transparent, and open to criticism.

I know and have always known that I am who I am for a reason. I was
uniquely made. And so are you. If by some chance you are reading my
blog and you are enjoying it—then I am happy. But please know this—
I am writing this blog for me. And the more I write, the more I want to write.
Something has been bottled up inside of me for a long time. Oh, I've written
before. I had to write papers for college. In fact some of what you've read—
I've written before in some fashion. But this blog thing is different.
It's therapeutic and in some ways healing. Is that why people write them?

I like this forum—this way of expressing myself. Sometimes while writing
I cry. Sometimes I laugh. And sometimes I am thrown into deep contemplation—
thinking for days about what I have revealed.

I am going to see where this takes me. I hope that I continue to write for
a long time. And I hope that I enjoy it and that you enjoy it too.
I am curious to see where I am going.
I am curious to see where God takes me. Whether you read this or not,
I will keep writing--for now.
