Why a Blog?

This is a very good question- I believe- to start this thing off with! Let me see...I think there are several answers for me. One of the reasons is to keep in touch with friends and family. I wrote in my "about me" that I have recently relocated to VA, and I love the idea of keeping in touch this way! Another reason to blog is I believe God has really been teaching me a lot, and I think/HOPE as I stumble my way through it it could be encouraging to others out there. My last reason for blogging would be that people keep telling me that I should do it-ha! Seriously, I do enjoy sharing what God is doing in my life with others. Plus, I seem to have an affinity for finding myself in unusual/potentially embarrassing situations that others seem to find entertaining-ha. What can I say...awkwardness is my gift!

So, my hope for any who read is to encourage, humor, confide, and hopefully through my MANY mistakes maybe have a little wisdom! I warn you now that I have NEVER baked bread, cooked a full dinner without using a microwave, crafted anything particularly beautiful, or used a coupon (although I dearly LOVE all blogs that do this....I like to live vicariously through these women-ha). I have however fallen on my face on a first date, walked very loudly straight into a wall, introduced my male boss by his wife's name to friends, locked my keys in my car so many times I should own a locksmith company, broken an engagement, had a broken heart, had many jobs, made LOTS of mistakes, hated God, believed God hated me, been legalistic, been judgemental of legalistic people, been rebellious, been perfectionist, been condemned, and THANKFULLY been saved by a loving and patient LORD!

Thanks for patience as I find my rhythm in the writing! Should be fun!
