I think I am about to become extremely honest.  I am writing this and venturing out.  To pour out what I have been contemplating on for what seems like forever and to hopefully help and inspire others.  Here is a small and simple bite of my story, and after that I hope to communicate what I want this blog to be about going forward.  I am a writer, but not in the sense, that I work to write, I simply have always liked to write.  Since I was 10!  I have kept journals dating back to my preteen years with all kinds of crazy drama.  Not quite a Harlequin  but me being honest with God about my struggles, fears, happy places, etc.  My journal was my escape place.  Many of them are beautiful displays of how God communicates to me, and some are displays of God being completely silent with me.  But, they have all been this "thing" that God and I have going on with our relationship.

In 2007 I started a blog.  I thought this is a great way to do what I have been doing with a journal but hopefully, it will provide some hope if someone reads it as well.  It was a popular blog with quite a few readers.  Soon after I started it I became pregnant with my first son, Jacob.  So, I started writing to God, they were  prayers about my son, the man I wanted him to become, and God's protection over him.  Overnight, "life" over powered my joy, and we found out my son was going to die.  You can read about the story here.  I lost the passion to write.

Which leads me to the present, two more kids later, a little boy and little girl,  God has been knocking on my writing door since 2010!  I have constantly been shutting the idea of writing again down.  For me, I had no inspiration.  Then recently, this summer, I literally felt like I was being yelled at.  So, I kinda "yelled" back just asking what I was supposed to write about.  So, I began to work on somethings within myself.

• Who was I writing for?
• Why did I want to write?
• What do I write about?
