why i will be a better blogger...

  in those moments where i felt alone, i felt heartbroken,       angry.....i read this …

I find beauty in not only the beautiful things in life, but the bittersweet and sad as well. To me, there is something poignantly lovely about the human experience from its splendor to its grief. God created all our emotions, not just the happy ones, and for His good purposes. That's why a good cry can feel so good. And hitting our limits forces us to look outside ourselves for a Savior. It is in the plea, when we're at our end, that we can find that which is truly life-giving. Personally, my moments of deepest grief, deepest pain, have resulted in the most beautiful seasons in my heart. I've met God more intimately in those moments than in all the other pleasant ones combined. What isn't completely lovely about that?"

…and suddenly felt like someone out in the world possibly understands. I believe that we all go through "seriously icky stuff" ........i am choosing to share rather than keep it locked up...it is my prayer that someone, somewhere will draw strength, or at least feel some form of comfort knowing that they are not alone. i want this to be a place of encouragement, joy,and uplift, but i also want it to be real.
