new blog + new chapter = new season

Well, I felt like it was time for change. For a fresh start, and with that I needed a fresh blog. It's almost as satisfying as opening a brand new journal and writing on the first page. It seems that I always write on the first page something like, "It's a brand new journal, brand new season!" and I get all excited, but then things turn out the same way they always do, and those little declarations of a new season turn out being bitter reminders of how jaded I can sometimes be.

However, I've said all that to say no longer!

I have literally had enough with my life thus far, with my experiences and just hoping things will turn around. I am now taking this seriously. I am so beyond done with living a so called "normal life." I am done settling for less than God's best for me in all areas of life. I have the utmost faith that this is in fact a new season, that God has totally swiped me from a potentially crippling path, and has placed me on a narrow one. That's why I absolutely love that picture with all the trees on top of this blog. 

Think about walking hand in hand with Jesus, secluded by all the green that surrounds. What would you talk about? What would he say? Where would you be walking to? Would you be focused on all your hang-ups? NO! You would just be staring straight into his eyes, saying, "Wherever you're off to, I'm not leaving your side! I'm coming with you!"

These are all the things I've been thinking about.

Where you go I'll go, God.
