A Reflection of My Journey!

Well, I had planned to do this when I came through my first year mark, but since that has come and gone I thought I would do it now before I moved on to other topics that I really want to talk about. I have chosen several entries over the last year that I feel kind of mark my blog experience, those things that I hope when people visit my blog feel that they have sort of an experience rather than simply a good time...I am random and a whirlwind and all about having fun, but I feel like have the ability through this medium to communicate my passions about my Savior and that is one of the things I'm most blessed about...so...enjoy...

This is the one I got the most flack for...
PASSION FOR PURITY

This post is a reflection of how film and television effect my heart...
MAGIC OF ORDINARY DAYS

It never hurts to show your weaknesses...

30 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME ...I will tell you that the link to the list for my future husband is no longer there! (this post has an error...I was 21 not 27 when I was sued...just so you know)

I got more response out of the post than any I have ever written...

Oh Barbara thank you...I'm hoping that they will shed a little more light on me. I have realized that some things have changed.

Dawn...I got your previous response on the music video as well. I'm going to try and do that tonight...I actually looked the cross that I want up, but I still can't remember how it is spelt, much simpler than I spelt it...your husband having Native American tattoos is really awesome!

Gayla...God is good and faithful and I don't feel like I've been placed on a backburner or even that you have been out of the loop in my life! I am just grateful that God is moving and that He is has blessed me with such an amazing person such as yourself in my life...

Much Much Love!

Let Me Share My Narrative With You (His Testimony!)

Well guys! Here it is! My testimony, or His testimony in my life! It is quite long...sorry...but I've divided it up in sections so hopefully it will make it easier to read. I hope that you will see Him fully reflected in this and that what ever ounce of me resides will be taken out I know this is long in coming, but I hope you enjoy.... Lord Father, this testimony is truly a testimony of You…it is not about me… What a deep and beautiful gift to be intimately known by the Creator of the Universe…let me share a narrative with you, a true love story if you will…let me share with you the moment the Lover of my soul captured my heart leaving me forever changed. I was born August 27, 1980 in Rome Georgia. I grew up Southern Baptist with a caring Mom and Dad and two amazing younger sisters that mean more to me than words can express. I was a very awkward child and struggled in my formative years with very low self-esteem and lack of self identity! Since I can’t take you through every sing...

Aslan

There are moments that I feel ancient, worn out and weathered. A battlement of bad weather and disappointment has left this little vessel of simply 25 years a little worse for wear. But, in my mind…in that tiniest truest part, I’m about 8 years old. I really delight when she surfaces. The older I get it tends to be less and less, and therefore all the more sacred and precious. Whether it be the first tinge of winter reddening my nose, the sounds of the first seasonal carol sung, or an episode of Little House on the Prairie taking me back to a small cherished space as a child. Sometimes my “little” hands can’t help but jump into rapid applause as the laughter of that small child surfaces and I see through her eyes. I feel it most this time of year, and never more as I have begun to read the beloved series…the Chronicles of Narnia. It is hard for me to imagine in all my 25 years I have never peeled back the cover and stepped into this magical world of wonder, snow, and magic. Where talki...

Living in a Broken Dream

She clutched nothingness by the jugular while her meager vessel cut through the shimmering glass of this placid sea. Pouring out memories of reindeer hooves, campfire songs, chilly night swims, delicious sunsets, the kiss of a sunrise, and the unexplored passion of a first kiss she attempted to stay afloat above the throe. Her leaking paper cup wasn’t fast enough; spilling more back into the shell than desired, working feverishly she didn’t even notice the shore or the silhouette…a man reaching…reaching for her… I’ve been dealing with the lack of feeling lately. That is the best way to describe it. My safe harbor is my mind, which incidentally is also a war torn land where great battles are fought and often lost. However, I have found a safe haven amongst the mortar blasts, debris, death, and devastation…a comfortable sort of numb that allows me to contend with my hallow dreams and broken heart. Like a cracked vessel that stands in front of the light she is to reflect rather than turni...
