New Beginnings

I have a confession.

This is not my first blog. I've created at least three to five others over the years and if I was lucky I would publish three posts. I eventually learned to stop telling people about my new blog until I had a few posts under my belt, hoping to look a little more established. That means that there are about two or three blogs floating around the internets that I never even told anyone about. I always start with the best of intentions and well, you know where that road can lead. ;)

This blog will be no different as far as sharing goes. I don't intend on "advertising" until I've posted at least five to seven times. So if you're reading this, I've reached my first, but very important, goal. And it's somehow kept you interested enough to read all the way to the first post. I'm not sure if that means I should be congratulated, or if you should. Congrats to both of us!

First things first.

My intention with this blog is a simple one. Over the past two years I've felt God impressing many things on my heart as far as ministry goes. Specifically, in ministry to women. We have a lot of daily pressures, whether we are married, single, divorced, a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or a woman who's chosen not to have kids. Regardless of what our "status" is, women don't always have it easy. For being the fairer gender, we sure are pushed into a lot of unfair things. My message to all the women out there is very basic.

You are loved and you are worthy.

I believe that my problem with creating a successful (or at least consistent) blog in the past has been pressure to write long, funny, and thought-provoking posts every day. I don't know about you, but as funny and thoughtful as I can be, I simply don't have the time and energy for all that. It's almost more than I can manage to feed the fam and keep them in clean clothes some days ;) So I'm kind of letting myself off the hook with this one. I do hope to post if not every day, at least four times a week. And when I do, don't expect a long post, with occasional exceptions. (This initial post being one of them)  I have so many things on my heart that I want to share, but I don't always have the time to type it all out. And if I don't have the time to hash all my thoughts out, then I doubt you have time to read something that long. Something short and sweet is sometimes all we need, am I right? I hope to bring you encouraging snippets that get you thinking, make you smile, and hopefully encourage you to see yourself how God sees you.

I look forward to this journey together, dear friends. We have a lot to discover along the way :)
