All things???

Why this title?  Well, several reasons:

  • I am not limited to or from any topic! I can write about all things, and if you knew me you would know how hard it is for me to make up my mind! so, now I don't have to. :-)
  • I have an opinion on just about all things.
  • My favorite scripture is knowing that, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!"
  • I have comfort in knowing that He (God) makes all things new and I am one who is being made new again and again!  
  • I am interested in just about all things:  relationships, religions, science, history, the human body, OOPS I take that back, I am NOT interested in math!
When I took my ACT for college and the job placement tests in college, writing/journalism was what I was pointed towards.  But, I didn't spell well (still do not) and I didn't always know where commas should go and I couldn't tell you what the heck a gerund is or is not! Not a present participle, nor a past one!  So, I didn't think writing was an option for me.

Then, I got an A on just about every paper, speech or essay I ever wrote with many comments about my creativity.  I realized I was creative and could write even if the commas were not always in the write places (Yes, I know it should be right.  Even without knowing, the computer underlined it in green.  I just wanted to be silly, funny, and/or use it as a "pun intended"). How about that?  I do know what a pronoun is!

People began to tell be that editors take care of the typos, misspells and grammar!  On this blog, the only editor I have is the underlined green and red worlds and I tend to disagree with the computer sometimes!  so, the readers will have to get through those issues to get to the meat of what I am saying!

Writing as a career -- I still couldn't see it.  Then, I got married, had my girls and began the struggle of figuring out how to live life to its fullest.  Through much prayer, fasting, and reading the Bible (Yes, I DO CAPITALIZE it along with pronouns for God) I felt that God was calling me to write.  Seriously, I felt the CALL.  I started a book several years ago but never finished it.  I was busy living and doing and getting through life.  I couldn't fathom finishing the book while working, and wiving, and mothering.  And, then there was the question of how and when and what to do to get it published?  So, I have been stuck with an unfinished book and dozens of others in my head!

I decided to start the process of writing in the form of a blog.  Through this outlet, I can share the things I have learned in life and the problems and mistakes I have had and hopefully help others.  This bloodspot is free so this is where I am starting.

Some of my thoughts may make you mad.  Others may make you think.  Hopefully, they will help someone and that is my goal. There have been many people who have helped me throughout my life and if I can be a vessel to help others and a blog is where I can start... then, I say--- Here I go!!!!!!!!
