I know you've missed me.

Today I answer the pull to join bloggers everywhere with a new blog of my own. I have changed quite a bit since I last blogged consistently, which would be at least four years ago. Quite frankly, it is astonishing how much a person can change in such a short time that felt like both a long time and a short time. Time is a conundrum in it of itself.  In that time: I have become a full time stay at home mom of two beautiful little girls, my body has undergone some wild changes with pregnancies, my favorite hobbies are now cooking healthy and running, my family gave up everything normal to plant a church, and I learned what it means to be sacrificial. All the while my spirit has been beaten down and built back up. My heart has lost hope of my dreams, later revived back to life. My darkest days are now my building blocks for the brightest future a woman could anticipate. 

So here I plan to type away those things that need to be pulled out of me, the things that need to get me writing again. Some days will be awesome recipes that I expect others will enjoy too. Other days will be about health and fitness, maybe a few about parenting, but perhaps my favorite blogs will be about the secret things my God is whispering into my spirit to share with anyone who dares to read. Thank you for taking a few minutes to read. My prayer is that someone is encouraged and touched through these simple written words.
