“I’ve got this”, “You can do this girl”,”It’s going to be amazing”, these are all things that I often tell myself at the start of something new. But if I am honest, I never really know. I don’t know if I will succeed or fail, if I will have the needed skill, the ability to pick it up or if it’s going to be a pile of crap. I don’t know!! Nevertheless, there I was starting out on yet another journey in life, not knowing anything. Talking a good talk, packing and singing, making last minute phone calls, disconnecting services and making arrangements for miles away. What in the world…was I crazy, I didn’t know, all I knew was that I had to leave where I was. I was going on a journey, except this time something was different, on this journey I wasn’t on my own I was being divinely guided out on the experience of my life. This was from God and it indeed is amazing.
So this blog will be dedicated to “tracking” that journey. The journey of a girl and her God. The journey of a woman and her son, a daughter and her parents, a sister and her siblings and girl boss in a male dominated construction industry.
Now that sounds like the plight of so many of us, what makes me different? Nothing and that is just it: the point is that I’m not that different. Most people just are just like you, in they have problems and situations, no matter how perfect they seem on social media. The majority of us don’t show our vulnerable areas to the world, what would they say, who would think what, will it be accepted or rejected, who knows and do I really care? Is she a Christian? Doesn’t she lead worship at the church? Depression? Deception? Dissension? What the world is going on? I’m a real life woman, with not so great habits that tend to keep me in the mix of some sort of troubles, a heavy love for God and family and loyalty that seems to be lost. This is me, strictly seeing the world from the lens of my Christian experience. Now while I am sure you won’t agree with all my tactics and opinions, the goal is to give hope in a world where it seems there is little. The journey is adventurous, exciting, scary, long, joyful and sometimes very dark, but when you’re walking it out with God there is hope. Our lives are definitely being walked out before men and God, and you or someone you know needs to know that even though it’s not perfect, God honors the forward motion of each of us. So keep moving. Let’s walk this thing out together, you’ll soon see that you are not alone is this thing called life. We are indeed connected! Let’s go!
