beginnings

I feel a little like the lady that swallowed a horse to catch a fly... launching a blog to enter a contest for a scholarship, though, in this case, the fly (contest) is really more

a golden ticket, (?)

a door to push on, (?)

an opportunity, (?)

at the very least, a possibility.

I know it may not be the door, the opportunity, for me; it may very well be for someone else.  And yet, the desire to pursue is there, and I begin, trusting the One who knows me best to do for me what is best.  And in doing so, the beginning is full of possibility which becomes in itself a gift.

I never imagined myself as a blogger, but, then again, I did not imagine for myself many of the experiences I have had in my life... this last year in particular.  I don't feel that I have anything in myself to give, yet I have my hands open - for grace to flow in, and on.

So, here goes.  By His grace and for His glory.
