Welcome!

I have been hankering to start a new blog. One that is more reflective of who I am becoming and my current journey. Bear with me as I contuine to tweak, learn and share more of my story. For now I will share this. I am 30, Aunt,Sister, and Friend. I believe in God even if I am having trouble finding my faith right now. I lost my job a month ago and have been feeling lost and discouraged as well. I also am recovering from emotional abuse, I suffered growing up. This is not a good season in my life but I know grace will come. Welcome, to my journey and my story! Hope you enjoy sharing my journey with me.

The Start of...

I wrote something today, I'm not sure where I'm going with it yet. An e-book, an actual book? I don't know yet. But I would so love y'alls thoughts. Sometimes I think about her the 5 year old, that loved God so much she had to ask him into her heart in the shower, because it just couldn't wait. Sometimes I think about her, the 13 year old who put the purity ring on and committed to not having sex before marriage. I wish I could hug her. I wish I could tell her she will get through the storms that are coming. I wish I could tell her that the trials of faith, and broken promises are a part of her story. That life as she knew it falling apart, would eventually turn into a new normal that would be even better. However I can't hug her, or guide her, or assure her. That girl learned it all the hard way. That girl expericed brokeness and hurt she never thought would be fixed or healed. That girl, that girl hit rock bottom more times then she could count, I know this b...

Ever Feel like Jonah

Intresting title I know. Considering its been ages since I have read that story. Probably over the fall when preparing my Sunday school lesson. However I feel like Jonah stuck inside the belly of a big fish being tossed and turned around. Life has been nothing but unknown. Wedensday I worked most of the day with one of my favorites. Working with him is however like a counseling session. He posed questions like whats your goal. My goal, ha, thats laughable at best. I had my goal rudley taken from me back in June. I wanna write, I wanna do minstry but how exactly I don't know. Then he posed some other statemnets while disccusing our situations as temps. He was listing my strengths and my weaknesses. He doesn't hold anything back, hes fully honest and I'm glad. No matter how much what he's saying might sting. One of the things he said has stuck with me. You could maybe be friendlier. I wish I could argue that point with him, I can't. Between being hurt and my own shyne...

It's Not Fair

Easter is my favorite holiday, hands down. Most people love Christmas, I personally love Easter. The Easter story offers so much hope. And let's be honest right now, hope seems so important. However I woke up Easter morning, lost in many thoughts.It was the first Easter without my Grandma, who I am almost certain I never spent an Easter without. There was the excitment I had felt over getting to do the Easter season with my Sunday school kiddos, that wasn't going happen. There was the whole not being in church with all those dear people I love so much. Yea, I was getting good and ready to hop aboard the depressed express. Let's face it, that depressed express is so easy right now. Life as we know it has ended. Nothing is normal, whatever normal even is to begin with. I tried to reroute my mind, which would be a constant through out the day process. God had died on Friday and on Easter Sunday he rose again. He rose again to save us, to give us hope. Hope. Oh how we need hope...
