Spring. New Beginnings.

Has it really been 7 months since I last wrote?

Yikes.

Not that you are all waiting on pins and needles anxiously anticipating words to pour forth.

But still, when you long to be transparent and desire to share your journey in order to encourage others, this long of a time period is unacceptable.

I do not profess to be a writer by any stretch of the imagination.  However, I have gone through a period where I've turned inward moreso than usual (apparently) as I process life around me.  Lately, and finally, the words and thoughts and desires to once again share my heart have grown within me so that I feel I can once again sit behind this screen and at least try to be a voice of hope.
A voice of encouragement.
A voice that will shine light and strengthen you.

Life happens.  All the goals and plans and dreams in the world cannot stop it from continuing on and creating interruptions daily.  So, do I view my life as a series of interruptions or opportunities?

I choose to see Opportunity.


So, this Spring season, with its tiny buds of new life sprawling out on the branches around me and fresh shades of green and touches of warm sun on skin, I will view as a rebirth of my voice behind my little blog in hopes that I can encourage even one person who has found him or herself

broken
in need of a beacon.

I was there.
I get it.
There is another side.
The other side.
Where still waters and fresh pasture await you.

I want to be one who reminds you of that.
