A New Beginning

Well, I have not blogged since Thanksgiving of last year. What a journey it has been, from triumph to disappointment, exhilarating highs and crashing lows. I have seen within my own soul things that have made me that much more grateful for the sacrificial love extended through Jesus. In a nutshell, I need Him.

My poor cranium cannot take the upheaval that is meant to be life lived out loud. Sleepless nights and pressing circumstances bring me face to face with the vanity of my own humanity. What a perfect gridlock life is, a perfect one indeed.

I am not sure where this new insurgence of blogging is going to lead, but my goal is to let the floodgates lead to books that can be read by those that need the encouragement and acknowledgement to keep pressing on.

What I do know is that life is in the everyday, and that which I discount as shameful may be the very lifeline to keep a fellow man in the race. Fearing what others think, even fearing what lies in my own heart are trappings that I can no longer endure.

Perfectionism and illusion of control can do so much damage to the soul. What an amazing God we serve who actually is the Perfect One.

These first few entries will most likely be a bit discombobulated as I relearn how to write again.

Now, for an everyday moment. I went to work today not knowing what I would eat for the day- I had to choose between getting to work earlier and getting so frustrated at picking out my meal that I would be tempted not to go to work at all. But I went.

And would you know, that the bus I had to catch actually waited for me? And that I was not only treated to a refreshing breakfast of oatmeal, but an unexpected lunch of a catered sandwich, macadamia nut cookie, and delicious barbecue chips?
