GOTTA START SOMEWHERE
I am unsure about this blog thing??????????????? Several people I trust have implored me, encouraged me, believed in me.....yet, I am uncertain.
.....to what end?
.....who am I even writing for?
.....what unrelenting words will cajole me into giving them a voice?
.....do those words even need to be spoken?And then...
.....who gets the glory?
I confess....it used to be more about me."Hey! Look at me! See what I can do/create/master. See how I excel. Aren't I wonderful?" It is called seeking significance and I was in the extra-needy category, often desperate for people to tell me I was special, or at least okay
That was before I knew what I know now. I truly am special....one of a kind. I alone was chosen to be me.
My maker is my beloved. I believe in His wisdom to fashion me just so.....pathetic at sports, four-eyed, feeble-bodied, chocolate-craving, aesthetically-inclined, puzzle-solving, overly sensitive, idea-sparking, bargain-hunting, logic-embracing, coffee-fueled, hard-working, plant-loving, dimpled, trusting and full of optimism.
I purpose to authentically be me, utilizing my abilities and skills and heart... not to enhance my persona or gain favour but to inform, pleasure others, love extravagantly, bring a smile or laugh, to birth hope, to honour my Creator.
I hope you enjoy the trip and along the way discover and celebrate the one and only you.
I guess we're off.......................! SCARY!!!!
