Only fitting to start my very first entry with the most iconic words of all time.

‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.’

Several years ago my husband mentioned that I should start a ‘blog’ I literally laughed out loud. Had I thought about it…many times. Then I would go back to the obvious: mom of 3 little ones, working along side my husband through this journey we call life. Nothing special, besides when will I find time to write? Why on earth would I share some of my most vulnerable thoughts and feelings with complete strangers? I rarely, if ever, post on Facebook for my 1,000+ ‘friends’ to see. And who in their right mind would read my post?

Then I realize everything that keeps me from moving forward is entangled with fear. Fear that I won’t be good at it. Fear others would see that my life is not as pretty and perfect as I display. Fear that no one will care. 

So here we are at a crossroads; our life is busier than it has ever been, yet the promptings of the Holy Spirit has led me to WordPress. So grab your warm cup of coffee, sit back, and join me on this new venture. 

In the beginning God created me and he gave me purpose. The canvas was without form and void; covered with darkness. Then the Spirit of the Lord moved upon my heart as His words lay bare. And through said words there was joy. Joy for all to see!  One common thread entwined through some of the most difficult circumstances we endured was HIS overwhelming PRESENCE. During the heartbreaks and heaviness,  I was never alone and dear friends you won’t be either. Deuteronomy 31:8, though used quite often, will never lose its power.

Every HEARTBREAK he was there. Providing HOPE when it seemed impossible. Through HEALING I found joy. So never doubt the journey laid before you just reach for the one who charted the course. He’ll never leave you.
