An Introduction

There are a number of transitions that my life is learning to adjust to these days.

Marriage, sharing my life in every way, every single beautiful and brilliant way. Moving to a new country, adjusting to all the do's and don'ts of the Indian culture and pushing myself to soak into life here. 

Leaving every familiar face and heart that years have provided me the joy of deeply knowing. 

It's a strange tug of war when you leave your loved ones while pushing to stir up within yourself the anticipation of finding new hearts and faces. And with time I am clinging to the faith that I will break through that wall of unfamiliarity and know those hearts well.

With all of these transitions and adjustments; marriage, a new home, new people, I feel that it might be some blessing for you if I write about how God is guiding me through it all. All of our lives are full of transitions and changes so my hope is that God may encourage you through anything I might learn.

I think the only way to write in a way that will be purposeful is to write about these surface events in a way that will expose the more meaningful events that are hidden underneath, the everlasting events. I will write of the ways in which Creator is handling these changes and my heart so gently in order to transition me from old to new, from independent to trusting, from hopeless to dreaming and anticipating those dreams to unfold.

I realize that the only purposeful reason for writing about these things is to encourage you with all the deeper ways that the Lord converts our hearts and minds and spirits. What may appear to be life transitions or struggles are really deeper transitions, ones of eternity, ones of spirit. Is there any other purposeful reason for life than to live for eternity and for spirit.. These are in fact the only things that cannot die.

So I pray God that you would use this small blog to encourage your children. Even if they only read one post use it to motivate them, to embolden them. Use it to draw their hearts closer to you. I want to be used by you God in any way I can, please use me I beg, even in this small way.
