An introduction of sorts.

As a sit down to write a bit about myself - so that those who stumble upon my blog will know the mind behind the madness - I find it hard to say anything clever at all. As a very verbal person this lack of written wit is surprising, as like many others, I don’t mind a bit when a conversation turns it’s attention towards me and I’m able to recount my adventures and great loves to those that are willing to listen. However, at this moment I feel like talk is cheap. What I mean by this is that I could write a number of things about myself - my likes, my dislikes, my talents and those things I just can’t do – and in an hour or a day or a year those things could cease to be true. This does not mean that I am a liar… it simply means I am human. My mind changes, my emotions flare and my sin destroys. So instead of writing about things that could/might/probably will change, I’ll instead tell you a few things I know. Things that if on any given day I choose to believe nothing else, I must choose to believe these:

I am child of God.
I am redeemed and have received forgiveness for my sins.
My joy and delight comes from the Lord.

Everyday the choice to believe these truths is presented to me, and often I mess it up. But despite my flaws and my fears, I will continue press forward so that in every circumstance I may

return to light…

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. [Colossians 1:13-14]



return to love…

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! [1 John 3:1]

and return to laughter…

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. [Job 8:21]
