Over the years I have always kept a prayer journal to just converse back and forth with the Lord. I have used it, and continue to use it, to physically unload my burdens, sort through problems, sing praises, and tell my stories at the foot of the cross. For the past 3 or 4 years I have secretly wanted to write a book, but what I would write about I have no clue. Writing public letters intimidates me, but I'm pretty excited because I have a feeling that this blog will become my little snippet of an autobiography... even if I make a fool out of myself.
I primarily started this blog to document any experiences, spiritual growth, etc. for my financial and prayer supporters as I prepare for and go on my missions trip I am taking this summer to serve the women and widows in Mtopo Hills, Zimbabwe. Regardless, it is open for anyone to read.
As I said earlier, I do feel a little nervous and vulnerable writing to people that may have never known my heart the way they will after following these, but to make sure that I am writing unashamed and not holding back anything I feel lead to write, my promise to you and to myself is to pretend like I am writing to my very best friend. I want these blogs to be written from a heart that is unashamed, eager to learn and be transformed, and filled with joy and anticipation from witnessing and waiting on God's perfect timing and blessings.
I hope these are exciting to read and possibly bring insight into your own life!! I can't wait to get these started!!!!!
yayy! can't wait to see what you have for the world!
