“I suddenly feel like I understand myself better. And the way drops of tears fall onto my keyboard as I jab out my heart’s secrets springs into meaning. My blog is my space to be. Just to be me. I do wish only strangers would read my words, not extended family members. I muffle my posts in the gauze of sister, daughter, niece, wife and mother and somewhere in there the little voice of me can get lost. But I am learning to peel back the layers and not carry the boulder of who is glimpsing the truth in me, but rather shrug off that weight and write like there is no tomorrow. Because if I do not, I stay asleep. Blogging has allowed me to step into a hidden room – and it is a captivating place, streaming with light and fragrance. It is where I worship and allow myself to stand exposed before my Creator and set Him first. What a priviledge. Thanks for your probing thoughts – they serve to prompt and encourage further refining of purpose. Delicious.”
