My first entry!!

Hey beautiful people! So...I decided to start a blog a long long time ago. I felt like I needed to share the things going on in my world but was very hesitant to do so. I hate the thought of everyone knowing my business and my most intimate thoughts. The Lord has been working in me and through me and at first I felt the Lord pulling on my heart to share it with everyone in hopes of encouraging others and relating to other peoples walks'. It's to the point now where I will feel disobedient if I don't do it. I just don't want people knowing this stuff...that stuff the drives me, that makes me go from day to day, and the stuff that makes me who I am. Because to be honest, I don't lead the most clean, honorable, and glamorous life. I struggle...a lot. I struggle with trusting God every day, with keeping my promises and in believing the promises that God has for me. I struggle with loving my friends, my mom, my dad, my roommates. I struggle with giving the Lord ALL of my time, my money, my thoughts, my everything. I struggle. So what you are seeing in the many blogs that will be posted are my struggles. But it won't stop there. I serve a faithful God and so you will see resolutions to those struggles. You will see His hand in me and see changes, transformations, and periods where there were question marks. And trust me, I ask a LOT of questions. We have an intelligent, all-knowing God who longs for us to seek after Him, lavish us with His love, and for us to delight in Him. So of course He will give us the answers we are looking for. Just maybe not in the way we expect. I have this strange desire brewing in me to get a degree in journalism. Haha...as I explore this avenue of writing out my life in a blog, I'm sure He will reveal His higher purpose. So I choose to be obedient. Here is my life exposed for the world to see....there WILL be more to come...

In Christ, WKD
