.....Then I moved to Portland......
..... and I stopped writing.......
I moved in January and the few times I have tried to write down this life changing experience, I can't do it. I pack up my car and drive to another state by myself with no job or true security, and I can't write?
One reason for this drought (I think perhaps) is my daily devotionals that I send out each and every morning. For about 60 lovely ladies, they get stuck hearing my journal....via e-mail. They get to hear about my stresses with work, or my fear of the unknown. They have become my pen and paper - they are my notebook - which at times is a little scary, because when I write in my notebook, i'm the only one to read it. Now I have dozens of women in different states on this journey with me, which has been a huge accountability and yet frightening all at the same time.
I keep a couple of my friends blogs on my toolbar - so anytime I look at a website, there they are. These are amazing friends who are living incredible lives led by God - and I love to look at what is going on in their world. They are an encouragement in my walk of faith - more than they probably know, which challenges me to put myself out there - hopefully that God would use my crazy life to encourage others. Though my life is less than exciting at times, as a single Christian girl seeking God's will, life takes twists and turns that very rarely I can prepare myself for, and sometimes it comforts me to know that others have been there before. I hope that by sharing my life with others, they can feel the comfort that I have felt - to know that it will all be alright, and we are not alone.
