For everything, there is a Reason.

So I decided to start blogging for a reason. I didn’t just want to write about my experiences, I wanted to EXPLORE them. You see, I have no idea what to do with my life. I know that I’m called to be a great mommy and a good and faithful wife to Patrick, but I feel like I’m being called to do more- I just don’t comprehend what, exactly. I feel this tug to minister to people in crisis. I really feel like working at a shelter of some sort, or at a children’s hospital, will help me to lead people to Christ, but how to do that? I don’t know anything about the Bible. I don’t know enough about the stories, or the verses, or meanings behind everything. All I know is how blessed I feel MY life is, and that I try to live by example.

But how does one become the teacher when they don’t have the materials to do so? That’s what I’m doing, through this. I’m listening to God more, taking my time with Him, and seeking answers, whereas before I was pretty dormant with it all, expecting His desires to show up on a platter- and well, it just doesn’t work that way. We have to want it.

I’m starting my very first Bible study this summer- and I’m more excited about this than almost anything- it only falls short of my wedding day and meeting my daughter. Please pray for my strength to endure through this, because I have become intimidated in the past by such things and not allowed myself to really open up to it.

As I read more scripture and different materials on Christian beliefs and living, I’ll put my thoughts onto this blog. I hope to be fully honest and open, even if it means leaving myself vulnerable, because that’s what God requires of us.
