"You Should Start a Blog"

A friend of mine suggested I start a blog since I'm a "Writer & have so much to teach!" I chuckle because I think she might have really meant, "Writing a blog might be a good outlet for you instead of feeling the need to spill everything you are learning in life with everyone you meet!" I think my husband would easily agree!

I have never really imagined myself as a writer. I'm more of a talker, I picked up that genetic trait from my father, I'm certain. But I do love to communicate. I did however, publish my first book almost a year ago now. I still have trouble saying I'm an author. I really thought of it as a calling to get a message out instead of a life long endeavor.

Well, I thoughtfully told my friend, I would pray about the blog thing! So last night as I'm in the midst of my prayers I start asking for what I should call my blog. The answer came as a soft whisper. One single word "Beloved." I had to ask for clarification because I was sure that was not how I wanted to "Brand" myself. It sounded a bit snobbish to say the least. However, I was quickly met with, "It's not all about you my dear, it's what I give you for them. The love that this world is so desperately searching for is bursting inside of you for them."

So it is with that calling I start this journey. I promise to share with you the love the Father lavishes out so we can all experience it together. I hope you will find this a place of comfort and hope. I hope you will laugh and cry with me as we journey through our days on earth.  Because you are dearly loved!
