About me

I started this blog on a whim. Completely planning free. Kind of like the rest of my life. I wrote this in that first week:

My ramblings about my walk with God, my journey of faith, and the inspiration I find in everyday life. The first scripture I ever learned was Hebrews 11:1, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." My desire is to have a faith that is of substance and to grow each day in my Savior's love. 

 I still like that. But I thought maybe I should expand on it. Because in the months since I started this blog, it has expanded. I have talked about things I never imagined I would share online. Most especially my battle with depression and anxiety. Sometimes I feel conflicted about this. I worry that by being honest about my struggles in this area will call my faith into question. But I keep writing. I feel compelled at times. I can only think that someone out there needs to know that you can believe and still struggle with depression and anxiety. You can still walk in faith, even when fear dogs your steps.

Even though I write about all kinds of things here, I still consider this blog to be about my journey of faith. Sometimes that journey takes me into dark places. Sometimes it's about friends and family. Or sharing some of my interests (reading, TV, etc). This is a place to share my humor and my pain, the essence of who I am. I hope you like what you see.
