Introduction

Let me first say that blogging is something new for me. My mind is constantly running and it probably would best be served by writing things down instead of keeping them in. When it comes to speaking I tend to do very well. Though, at first I may be nervous I seem to ease into it very quickly. I've found that speaking on things relating to me on emotional level I do better writing. My friend helped me to discover that pride is what keeps me from showing my emotions to others. It is this vulnerability that I keep to myself, refusing to let others get close to the real essence of me.

For some reason I've convinced myself that, that aspect of myself is only for God to see. I'm sure if I were to dig deep I would know why it is I do not want to let others close. There are a few, and I mean I could literally count them on one hand, that I've allowed in. However, even they are only permitted so far. It makes me think of how God told the waves of the ocean that they could come thus far and no more (Job 38:11). I, too, have erected boundaries and though boundaries are good, boundaries can even keep out those things and people that are supposed to be in your life.

So, I've created this blog to share those things which are in my heart. Some may be related to me specifically and others may have more so to do with people as a whole. I am a daughter of God, a wife, a mother, a friend, an adviser; I am so many things. These are the things I wish to relay to all those who choose to read. Maybe in these truths, some that God hold for me and others that He holds for all believers, that your life will be impacted or even changed. I, too, hope that mine will continue to grow as I try ever so hard to let God's light in me shine before man.

The Principal Thing

"If I remain relatively unknown and the world never acknowledges the things that I've done, may I be known in heaven for these kids...
