It's All for You

I never really thought about starting a blog before. It seemed like something that only those who live crazily amazing lives and have many adventures could do, such as my dear friend Chelsea. But then one day I was meditating on the Lord and thinking about all He has done for me in my life. And I was reminded of the changes that this year brought, changes that were hard to accept at first but I learned to embrace. And I thought: How can I keep from singing out His praise and what all He's done for me? How can I keep from shouting about His MERCY and POWER in my life. But the problem is...I can't sing. Not well. (And I'd really rather not shout) But I can write. And I can share with you the goodness and the mercy of our God; the different things He has been showing me lately and the ways He is molding me into the vessel that He needs me to be.

The purpose of this blog is to brag on God. I believe we don't do enough of that. We brag way too much on ourselves, the created, and not enough on Jesus, our Creator. My goal is to change that. I am praying that this blog will give you just a glimpse of His power, work, and mercy in my life and that He will use my testimony of His grace and hand on my life to change yours and inspire you to run more after Him. Now, I am by no means a perfect example of a vessel for the Holy Spirit. And I never will be. (Boy, am I a queen at making mistakes!) But I am learning and growing. And I invite you to learn and grow with me!

Having said that, enjoy reading a little about God's work in a simple girl's life and what His power can do.

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 
~1 Corinthians 10:31
