Brand New!

I have had this blog for a while now. I used to use it all the time, but sometime between the time that I created it and now I have become secret. I used to use this space as a way to express myself and be honest with those in my life. It was my chance to share that I am not perfect and that I struggle. Some how I began to believe that I should not be so open with my life and my dark moments. I began to write in a journal instead. One that only I could read and that I kept hidden. Today I wonder why that is. Why shouldn't I be honest about what I am going through? Why should I spend so much time trying to convey that I have it all together? That is not who I am nor is it who I want to be. I think sometimes as Christians we get it in our minds that we have to be perfect or our witness to those around us is destroyed. We should strive for perfection, but how wonderful it would be if we shared when we fell short of it. If we could lay down our pride and realize that where we have fallen short might be a testimony that others need to hear.

I have went through and deleted all my past postings because I wanted a clean slate. A new start at being the open and honest person I like to think I am.
