I don't have it figured out. I never will. I'm on a journey into the ugly & awesome places inside my own heart. I'm not willing to live afraid anymore, and I want to share about a way of living that can change the course of anyones life. Its the way of a great leader. He is different than I was told, and sadly, very different than who I told him to be. Before much more, I need to say why I am excited, and why I would venture into this world of presenting information from my experiences and lessons learned.
For me, today is the launching of a new way of communicating who I believe this leader really is. By the end of tonight, I would have put up a website that outlines a long, hard, loving, forgiving, challenging, gracious, hurtful, & mistake-filled journey for me. It began around 9 years ago.
There is no way I could ever some up this journey in one blog, but I want this blog to be a place where I can invite people to journey with me through their own faith, ideas about who God is, church, & spirituality; any questions, doubts, excitements, failures, shames, guilts, redemptions, longings, probings, ponderings, stories, inspirations, questions, exclamation points, periods and semi-colons. (which i'm almost positive I used incorrectly in this past sentence.)
I want anyone and everyone to feel valued here. I would really love it if things expressed here gave people hope. Real hope. I would love to have the chance to fail openly here. To have a small little place of community, support, encouragement, understanding, vulnerability, honesty, and commitment to each others' life. I would love healing of hearts, minds, & souls to be read, written, spoken, cried, laughed, lived and overall just celebrated here.
That's the only thing that could even get me to feel motivated to write my heart down, share my mind, and be transparent myself. It sounds refreshing even as I say it while I type it, and delete my tpyos.
Its really hard to describe how excited I am to write my heart onto a page where potentially millions of people could see it. I suppose I'm most excited because its probably the first time I'm actually going to have something to say that is profound. The profoundness comes in my discovery of who I am not, and all I don't have to say. I couldn't be happier. Welcome to a journey into a life redefined...my life, and hopefully yours.
This is just the start.
