So.. I've jumped in! I've been debating the idea of blogging for a while but find such joy in reading other people's blogs that I thought I might take the leap myself. There's just something scary about writing out my thoughts and feelings for others to see. But at the same time, I love the idea of being open and sharing with those I love the most what's on my heart and mind.
Today has been one of those rare, completely needed, relaxing days. I often run myself ragged, enjoying staying busy and every once in a while I just need to re-charge and re-energize. So that is what today has been about... and I'm loving every second of it! I started the morning at Starbucks reading "Crazy Love" and listening to a podcast by Matt Chandler (check him out if you never have) and completely enjoyed myself! The podcast was about taking the steps of obedience instead of just knowing that we need God and thirsting for Him. Another huge point he made was the importance of fellowship... which just might be my favorite part of this journey in life... fellowship with others who keep us going when it gets hard, who laugh with us along the way, and motivate us to get through each day with more excitement and surprises than we would ever have on our own. People make it worth it. And I don't know what I'd do without them.
Since its Mother's Day... I just wanted to make a quick shout out to my wonderful Mother who has become one of the closest friends I have. She is the most humble, selfless, loving woman I know and I just want to thank her for all she's been for me and the amazing example she is of a God-fearing woman. Thanks Mom! Can't wait to see you in two weeks!
