Ramblings

As I finally sit down to type out a blog post, I am realizing that it has been two weeks since I've posted. And goodness, what a two weeks it has been. 

There are so many things I want to say...
about what's been going on in life...
about the fun we've been having with our visitors...
about the way God has been moving my heart more than He has in a while...
about dreams and worship and emotional talks with my husband...
about cute little Pinterest projects that I want to do...
about places that I want to go and adventures that I want to have...
about silly things like style and clothes and our dog...

But I keep getting stuck on one thought. This blog.
What is it for? Is this some kind of public diary? Is it the best way for me to express my heart tangibly? Am I writing for my glory, or for God's? How much of my heart and fears should I share on the blog? What does it even matter, because no one really reads my blog anyways...? And how will I get people to understand that I'm not asking for attention or recognition? How do I get them to read and see through my poor story telling, stupid jokes... and find that there is something greater that I want to say in this little corner of the Internet.

Something I've been aching to say... dying to scream.

Something that I don't even have the words for.

Maybe I'm taking things to seriously and making everything so heavy. Maybe I need to lighten up and just let it go. Maybe there's really nothing wrong and I'm just making this all up.

Or maybe. Maybe God has put this restlessness in my Spirit with a purpose. Maybe this is a wake up call, while I just sit here, selfishly pressing Snooze over and over. Maybe I'm not where I need to be.
Of coarse I'm not where I need to be. Maybe there needs to be some changes. Changes in me. Changes in where I'm going. 

Like I said, God is doing big things. Great big things.

My first ever blog post

Starting a blog is something that I've wanted to do for a while now. But for months, I have put it off for various reasons... I'm not the writer that I want to be, yet. I don't live the most interesting or inspiring life. No one would read what I have to say. People may think that I'm a big fat loser.
These are just a few reasons.

But last week, I realized something.
Life right now is something I want to remember.

I just turned 21 years old, and I'm a newlywed. I have a heart for the Lord, and He has made it a sensitive heart. I moved 584.78 miles away from the only home I've ever known to join my husband on the journey that his heart has been called to.

God is doing something in my life. Something great.

This blog is one that I'll use to remember life as it is now. It it a place where I will be able to collect my stories, thoughts and faith. It will allow me to share my heart and look into the hearts of others. It will cause me to look at myself and my situations from a new perspective, and I will grow.
And hopefully, I'll be able to make a few people laugh along the way.

This is us.
