It’s been a while since I have attempted any consistent blogging schedule. It’s been longer since I have done an online Bible study or devotional book group. I’ve pretty much felt like I have fallen into blog negligence over the past few years as I’ve juggled various other commitments, roles and opportunities.

This past first day of 2018, I sat with my freshly brewed coffee, open Bible, and journal pondering the year and pages before me. I had already reconciled the fact that I felt no specific nudging toward a new word for 2018- I was ready to continue walking with my One Word for 2017 (Light) into this new year. I also realized I was enjoying following the current scripture reading plan I was following, so no need to change that either. More

Welcome to my journal. Here you will get a peek into the pages of my heart. Unedited (for the most part) and as they were written. I do leave out portions which are extremely personal or potentially intrusive to those I love; also some of my wildly long, rambling tangents. But otherwise I try to be brave enough to inspire you to feel safe to bare your soul a bit. Have no fear here. This is a place to share your heart and be encouraged.
Interestingly, just seven days after I wrote this post I would injure my hip during my daughter’s field day, and this little writing excursion called blogging which started as a burning desire in my heart would become like a healing balm over my life.

How does Summer Bible Study strike you? Have you ever read your Bible on the beach? In the pool? During Shark Week? I have had a number of questions about Journaling Your Journey [with Jesus] and I am grateful you have reached out with your questions, comments, and the desire for MORE.
Some of you have picked up with journaling again, or for the first time.
Some are taking a deep breath and seeking Scripture with renewed hope.
Many of you are overcoming obstacles, stumbling blocks…or pain and daring to take a step of faith; daring to consider trusting the unseen possibilities.
Even the possibility of trusting (anew) and reaching out for the unseen One who makes all things possible.
