invitation

I consider myself to be a person of good intentions, a master of thoughtful plans, an over-organizer, and a micro-manager. The problem arises when the good intentions sit idle and remain just that (whether for myself or in service), the thoughtful planning becomes lofty and unattainable - leading to disappointment, the over-organizing gets out of hand and I do less creating due to an obsession with compartments, and the micro-managing doesn't allow me to trust anyone else to help me or work along side me.

So in an effort to allow myself to be constantly changed by the Shaper of my character, I want to record some of my thoughts here and invite you to come along this journey with me. I hope you will recognize the differences in me as I seek to follow harder after Christ. I hope you will disregard the amateurity of my blogging skills and the lack of word eloquency. I hope you will be encouraged, challenged, honed, and blessed for reading this. I pray you will see Jesus. I pray you will hear truth. I hope you will be changed from the inside out!
