Beginnings

So, I finally did it. I started a blog. Woo hoo!! But frankly, folks, I’m a ‘lil nervous. What if people don’t like it? What if I don’t live up to expectations? What if I suddenly learn how to pay attention to my surroundings and stop running into everything - I won’t have anything to talk about! Hmm, well…that one’s not really valid since I’ll be in new surroundings every three weeks and there’s bound to be plenty of things out of place…but everything else? Yeah, I’m definitely going to have to trust the Lord on those. After all, He is the whole reason I am writing in the first place. My goal is to keep everyone up to date on my life as a Children’s Minister (CM) with Life Action Ministries -who happens to be single and legally blind- while glorifying God with every word I write.  I do hope what I have to say is interesting and that y’all look forward to my posts but, honestly, I’m not going to look for anyone’s approval but His and then go from there.

God has given me this “BLINDSIGHT” for a specific purpose and, as far as I’m concerned, that’s 20/20 enough for me. I don’t notice it too much myself (because it’s just normal) but my point of view in life is unique. I don’t see well by the world’s standards but I truly believe that I don’t need to. Would it be totally AWESOME if I suddenly had perfect vision? YES! But I don’t need it to do what God has put in front of me. Besides, I keep myself super entertained. (The neighbors probably think I’m a little “tetched” in the head.)

So, that’s why I’m here. I’ll be leaving in the morning with my family for a two week vacation and then they'll drop me at staff training. That will begin a year with Life Action Ministries in which I get to love on a lot of kids while delving into the depths of God’s love for me. If you do decide to follow my posts then I can only tell you that I am SO excited to share with you all the craziness of road life, all the quirkiness of blind life and all the goodness of God in my life.

Welcome!
