I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here, blogging that is. I don't know what the purpose is other than to just get all those weird little, random thoughts out into cyber space. At least not yet.
I never really liked the idea of blogging for myself, but have enjoyed catching up with others, sharing ideas and challenging each other via blogging. At least I like the idea of it.
I guess the first thing, the real reason I wanted to blog was to put 'pen to paper' (more like fingers to keys) to all those little things that I would like to share with others.
What should be known is that I like to laugh and will probably be posting things that my weird sense of humor, thinks is funny. Another thing to know about me is that I work with kids, kids with exceptional needs. So, I have lots of stories to share.
I am in a transitional phase in my life, but am learning (very slowly), that life is just a series of transitions. I am somewhere between adulthood and childhood, undergraduate and graduate school, working with kids and doing anything else, wanting a family and wanting no responsibilities whatsoever, wanting to move everywhere and never wanting to move again. It is a weird place. A place that no one really prepares you for, but it is a place of growth and development. Probably the most notable thing about me is my faith in Jesus and finding that it is not some compartment of my life, so much as it is my life. All consuming. And more beautiful and painful than I could have ever imagined. Something that I heard a guy at church say months back, that has stuck with me, is that this life is living a 'thrilling scandal of hope'.
Looking forward to sharing these things with you and hope you'll find something funny or challenging or beautiful or helpful.
