When asked to write a description of this blog, a few thoughts
came to mind – a travel blog (fun), a way to keep friends and family informed
(great), a public diary (concerning), a form of self psycho analysis (very
concerning). Unfortunately, the latter may be all too true but I’ll try not to make
this too heavy.
Despite my potential selfish reasons for starting this blog,
there is one truth that I have learned this year that makes this entire idea make
sense – life is meant to be shared. We were created to have relationship and
community and to walk through life together.
This year has marked some of the greatest joys and heart
wrenching trials I have experienced. These are the seasons of my life. The sun has shone in summer and I have felt
the warmth of a very blessed life. The cold breath of winter has also left me
chilled and on my knees. Seasons change, that is a constant. And this is my
desire, not only to share the seasons of summer, but to share my heart
honestly.
I’m not quite sure why I feel compelled to have my thoughts
in black and white. In reality, I had created this blog back in 2011 and never
wrote a single entry (the courage to press submit on this post should be
greatly rewarded). Maybe it’s the act of revealing yourself in such a way that
you are vulnerable, exposing your truest self to the possibility of judgment
and criticism. It could also very well be the fact that everyone will see
what poor grammar I got! Regardless, here are my thoughts in black and white, as I walk through the seasons of my life…
