*tap tap* ahem.

Oh, hello there.

Now bare with me- I realize it's been awhile since I've posted a 'just me, life, what's up' kind of post. And I think that's okay. Just as the seasons change around us and the tulips bloom and the cold heads out, we as people change and go through seasons of our own.

I'm happy to tell you that with the coming of this beautiful weather, which amazes me year after year with it's ability to never become less exciting than it was the year before, that I too have become re-inspired, renewed, and ready to live out the wondrous life that I have so undeservedly been given. So, in relation with you, my dear readers, that means I'll probably be writing more and posting more consistently.

Who knows though, really? Who can say what life will bring this month, this week, even this day? That is what makes it so exciting, is it not?

A lot has happened recently, so to bring you up to date with my life, I will tell you this… God is faithful :)

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Maybe I will write more on that another time, or perchance in real life, our paths may cross, and we may wonder together at his glory and goodness over coffee, or under the vast blue above us.

Color, childhood experiences, serving through time given, the sanctity of life, creating, and giving up all burden and anxiety; fear and worry to Lord--
All subjects recently flooding my mind and resting on my heart.

Have you lived today?

something out of nothing?

I want to be something for him, but only through him can I be anything. 
Let your dream be my dream, take my heart and shape it to your likeness. 
I see now that my efforts are all in vain, my own successes are nothing. 
Make me into a vessel for you, let your life be seen through mine. 


And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Agenda

...turn into a history buff

no big deal.


what about you?

silence

A heart so full, a mind so engaged, a body so busy…  perhaps silence is the best option.

All Men...

We hold these truths to be self–evident,

That all men are created equal,

That they are endowed by their Creator

with certain unalienable Rights,

That among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
