Here we go...

The first question most will ask in response to this new adventure of mine is going to be, "What is the point behind blogging? Why share everything to the world wide web?" Well that is a very good question and to be completley honest...I have no idea why I want to do this so bad. But I have a few thoughts behind it:
1.) I think ALL day long, my brain never stops...ever. I attempt at writing it down on paper but alot of times those are my thoughts between me and God. Here I have the opportunity to share my ideas, goals, triumphs and insightful (I wish) thoughts to whomever may be interested.
2.) I want to be able to share what God is doing in my life! There are many things I will not be sharing about myself but God is not one of those. So many times I want to stand on the roof of my 22 story tall building and shout out how amazing our God is. Considering that isn't probable I have settled for the second best.

So tay tuned if you want, if not no worries. I am doing this for myself as well. It seems easier to process life when we can sort through our thoughts out loud instead of keeping them in side.

As we continue into this Easter weekend let's not allow the chocolate, eggs, sun dresses and peepes fog our minds of what is truly important. Jesus died on the cross for us, today actually (Good Friday). He died for our sins, He died such an awful death it is hard to even write out the way I feel about it. I don't deserve His love He has for me but I greatly receive it or at least as much of it as I can comprehend. I am truly thankful for my relationship with Him and the life I live that wouldn't be possible if God didn't sacrifice His one and only son.

Have a very happy Easter! Eat chocolate, don't count calories and talk to God! He wants to hear from you!

Hey...just stumbled on to your blog when I saw that you had looked at mine. I hope you read my first entry as it explained why I felt the "nudge" to blog too! Very exciting stuff...however, you are being WAY more faithful than me to share your thoughts...and your blog is ADORABLE! (wanna help me with mine?) :) Love the look!!
I remain very proud of your spiritual maturity - I feel like I 'know' you and yet I realize that we haven't had much time together - since you were in 5th grade! :) Regardless, I've told you before...you were always one of the girls that I knew had deep thoughts and I could see was on a search for TRUTH! I'm proud of you for the journey you are on. Excited to read more posts!! I really do see Jesus in you - proud of you for sharing your story.
