Unclear
First off, I have to say that this whole blog thing is WAY out of my comfort zone. I am somewhat private and the idea of posting my thoughts and personal experiences out in cyber space for everyone and their Momma to see, scares me. Don't get me wrong, I am not afraid to create a touchy-feely Instagram post about my babe of a husband and what a good man he is. I also don't hesitate to post about some awesome thing God has done for us that I can't be quiet about. Regardless, I usually am a consumer, not a producer of anything resembling a blog. I don't post very often and when I do, I am pretty reserved in my sharing. Then why am I writing this post, you ask? Great question.
I don't really know, to be honest. You see, after journaling about this abundant life of ours (the safer way of recording these thoughts of mine) and God's goodness towards us in this season, I began to pray. I have heard stories about the Holy Spirit and how He speaks to people in different ways. Usually, the Holy Spirit will give me an idea or thought that I KNOW without a doubt my own mind couldn't muster up. I am learning to listen-up when this happens or I might miss out on something good the Father has for me.
All of that to say, this blog is not so much a form of expression as it is an attempt at obedience. Two things in particular came to mind when the Holy Spirit urged me to start this blog.
one
I have been keeping a journal for the last year. I decided to start journaling those BIG God moments in my life. Sadly, I have a terrible memory. Sometimes Trey worries about me because I am so forgetful...So my thinking was, hey, I will keep this journal to look back and remind myself of God's faithfulness.
So maybe I'm to share these moments with you?
two
Trey and I are about to start a journey that we have dreamed about since we met. Both of us were raised on our farms and it is the only kind of life that we have dreamed of. We have been fortunate to rent a small place on some land for the last few years. As awesome as it has been, and a total blessing, the place is not ours to do what we wish with. Trey is the brains behind our dream of a farm. He spends hours and hours researching the best farming methods and practices. He has some amazing plans. While I'm over here Pinteresting farmhouse decor and dreaming of babies running through the fields. I have cute plans. This dream of ours starts becoming a reality when we close on our first home, a small home on a little land with a big barn.
And maybe I'm to share this farming journey with you?
Again, this is all unclear to me. At least now, we're all unclear together.
