What Am I Doing Here?

I've been working on setting up this blog all night and now that it's come down to writing my first post, I can't quite nab an answer to that question up there.  Let me grab some coffee and really dig deep.

Yup, I really went and made coffee at 10 pm
Aren't you glad we're friends?!

When I was in middle and high school, I used to write all the time.  Composition notebooks full of poems and journals up the wazoo.  As I grew older, it seemed to take a back burner which led to it completely falling off the stove so-to-speak.  Although I lost touch with writing, I never lost my love of reading or words.

Now that I'm older and my life is starting to fall into place (a more permanent place), I want to pick up my writing again and share my experiences.  Along with that, I'm learning who I want to be but more importantly, who God wants me to be.  If you knew me in my middle and high school days, even up until about 6 years ago, you know I was not the same as I am now and I'm darn proud of that.  I'll be the first to admit I could be a pretty rotten person making selfish decisions.

Which brings me back to the title of this post.  What am I doing here?  Like most people, I changed and grew but, within the last few years, I've felt a bigger and better change in the making.  As a wife, mother of 4 and someone who has rediscovered their faith, I have a purpose now!  A direction and I want to take you along for the ride!
