New Beginnings

I suppose if I have to title each post I would title this one "New Beginnings." While I have been journaling for years this is the first time I have tried blogging. God has taught me a lot about myself and Himself through the discipline of writing my prayers, thoughts, concerns, and even sometimes grocery lists.(Sounds weird, but just trust me.) I looked up at my bookshelf the other day and realized that half the books I own are the books I've written! The first page of each of my journals is titled "New Beginnings" because in a way it symbolizes a new chapter in my life.
I pulled out a journal from my sophomore year of college and began reading about the joys, fears, heart break, confusion, praises, and so on that I so carefully documented. I read of the way God faithfully brought me through my every day, and I began to think, "I need to share this with as many people as possible!"
With all this said, the goal of this blog isn't to impress people with my amazing writing skills or dazzle others with my extensive vocabulary; but, I do hope to encourage whoever may be reading this to know that new beginnings are for each of us. God's mercy is new EVERY MORNING and He loves us with a love I'm doing my best to understand. May the crazy thoughts I seem to have encourage you and bless you as we continue to serve, love, and pray. Yay for new beginnings!
