Why Am I Doing This?

So why am I starting a blog? It's funny what God puts on your heart. For some reason, over the last couple of weeks I have had a really strong urge to start a blog. Sort of like a devotional blog to share with others.

I kept a blog during my pregnancy with Payslie and even though she is 9 months old now, I frequently go back and read what I wrote during that time in my life. I say that I am going to eventually print all of those posts, place them in a book, and give it to her to read one day so that she will know exactly how much I love her. :)

Most of you who may read this know me. You may know me from the past or from the present. You may be a friend of the family or you may be family. Even if nobody really reads this, it's something that gives me a lot of fulfillment. Even though this is a "spiritual" blog, I want you all to know that anyone is welcome to read this. I'm a pretty raw person. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I always want to be seen as someone who is "real." As stated in the section "About Me", I believe in Jesus Christ and enjoy my relationship with my savior. Please don't make any presumptions based on that statement. I want to see others the way He sees me. I want to extend forgiveness and compassion to those who need it. Even to those who don't deserve it.

So I guess I can say that I don't really know where this is going. I got the title for this blog just simply from a thought that crosses my mind and I'm sure crosses the mind of most people, Christian or not. God, can I really hear from You? My purpose in this blog is not to spark debate or create confusion, but just to share. Enjoy.
