There have been many times in my life where I’ve thought about starting my own blog. I have spent hours reading the blogs of others and then one day I began to worry I was pondering their thoughts more than my own! This was a big clue it was time to take a leap and just start one for myself.
Hopefully this will be a good place to express my thoughts and feelings without too much reservation or too little of transparency at the same time. I'm going to take a good guess and say I'll probably spend a lot of time writing about motherhood as a first time mom, God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, my marriage, women, weaknesses, and maybe even some strengths.
I think there's something special about writing out one's thoughts and reading them over. Sometimes I take notice of such truth in my writing--truth that I need to speak to myself more often. Other times I easily see the lies I seem to believe all too well.

I especially feel like pregnancy, birth, and raising a sweet little boy, my first child, Gideon, has stirred something in me that I haven’t felt for quite some time, if ever. I’m not so sure that’s the best way to describe it but for now I’ll say that I have missed this passion for living, this compulsion to share something I so deeply believe in and cherish.
Maybe it’s the role of mothering another human being or the new found deeper love fpr and reliance on God that makes me feel this alive. It’s as though my heart has expanded for something that was meant to be there all along. Like more chambers of my heart were formed to love like this. There are times it feels so full of the most wonderful things on earth that I want to burst.
To know that I have a deeper capacity to love and feel love is a downright amazing thing.
Well, please join me as I share part of myself here. I will aim to be gracious, patient, wise, thoughtful and discerning while also being vulnerable and real. I want this blog to be a place where God can speak from the heart---my heart. And it would be a great honor to hear your thoughts as well!
Blessings and love to you,
Michelle
