Becoming Beautiful Again.
When I think about how excited I am this blog is officially published, I genuinely cannot stop smiling. I immediately think about how many people have prayed over my writings and how many people have encouraged me to not just make this blog a dream, but a reality.
I have to admit though — I am nervous to start and share this dream of mine. What if it fails? What if no one reads it? I definitely don’t have the qualifications to start this thing. I know these thoughts are going to creep in all the time, but I don’t want fear to hold me back from what’s been placed on my heart. I want my excitement to drive the purpose behind what my dream truly is.
These posts are just a little glimpse into my life.
They are a peek into my friends lives, my families lives and my dreams. They’re real and raw.
I’ve read and followed blogs since I was young and what I was finding was — I was only reading about rainbows — the good and happy. Don’t get me wrong, rainbows are amazing. But there’s typically a storm that comes before the rainbow. In fairness, no one really likes to talk about the storm.
The main thought I had behind creating this platform was I wanted people to read and think, “I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.”
I feel like most days we live in a false reality of what life should look like. I’m only 24, so I have yet to figure really anything out. But what I do have figured out, is there is no “perfect” way for life to look.
My life over the past almost 25 years has taken a turn from being really beautiful, to really ugly, and now it’s becoming beautiful again. It’s a different kind of beautiful than before. It’s a reformed and refined kind of beautiful.
I want you to know that I truly am praying over you as you read my writings. I hope you know as I write these, I am consciously praying the Holy Spirit would use His words, not my words.
I hope you know your Creator is holding your hand through whatever you’re walking through - good, bad, easy, hard, beautiful, ugly.
I’ve seen His faithfulness over the past 24 years of my life, and I hope you can catch glimpses of His faithfulness throughout yours as well.
God continued, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you. I’m putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the Earth. From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living...
Genesis 9:13-16
HAPPY ! YOU’RE ! HERE !
