Over the past week I have randomly come across many issues that I was unaware of. You see I have my "perfect" little life (and I use the term loosely), a job that I love, the best family and friends that anyone could wish for, a husband that is loving and kind, and a perfect God who has given it all to me. I'm a lucky girl, I know that. not so many people are as fortunate as I am in their situation in life.
But as I look at my life in recent years (trust me there were times when I was the complete opposite that I am today), I realise that I have been rather sheltered. It's my own doing really, I was dead for so long, depressed and living a life I am not proud of, that I forgot how to be passionate about something (that or I was too scared to stir the pot and preferred to remain oblivious).
I have my thoughts and opinions on things, but up until recently I have steered clear of some of the bigger issues out there.
I figure that if I really want to make a difference, then I have to tackle the big questions along with the small. If I can make a difference in the life of one person from what they read here, I believe that I have done part of what God has called me to do.
There are just so many things boiling under the surface, about things I have read or seen that I know that God is saying I should not keep silent any longer. I need to put myself out there and write.
At the moment I am processing these things. I think about my blog posts, sometimes for days, before I hit the "publish" button. Obviously not for this post which is somewhat disjointed and appears more like random thoughts than any sort of coherent message.
I just wanted you to know that this blog is as much a journey for me as it will be for some of you. That I am finally taking the steps that I shied away from for so long. I will speak out those things that God gives me to speak.
On a much lighter note I have added a section in the side bar that allows you to ask me questions. I promise to answer these after careful thought and consideration and to the best of my ability.
