New Beginnings

So I'm dumping Farmville and picking up blogging...hopefully blogging will be a little more productive and fulfilling to my life.  I've got tons of thoughts and ideas running through my mind and I hope that by putting them down somewhere that I can sleep better at night without them keeping me up.  The thoughts are on love, life, church, religion, work, people, youth ministry, cats, etc.  As I'm typing I'm thinking "wow, I sound lame" but hopefully when I start posting things, they won't come out that way. 

A lot of things have been going on in my life lately, so far they are good.  I'm the happiest I've ever felt in the longest time; maybe even the happiest I've ever felt in life.  I'm owing my happiness to the relationship I've re-kindled with my amazing, awesome, loving Heavenly Father God.  I will probably be talking about all the different things I've had happen in my life that has shaped how I lived, how I live now and how I hope my future plays out.  I've been through things I never want someone to experience and I've been through things that I hope everyone experiences.  The journey in life is not always a straight path, but twists and turns, up and down hills and mountains, through forests and desserts, valleys and cities.  I've experienced highs and extreme lows and lived in the gray area of life, but through it all, I've come to figure out who I am and who I am in God

So why "I for Elizabeth"...it has nothing to do with being selfish, even though most of the things I will be sharing will be my own personal thoughts and ideas; it actually is a random comment I made to my sister one time while putting together a desk.  My brain moves faster than my mouth and my hands, so that's what came out and since then, whenever I have a moment that doesn't make sense, my sister says that to me.  Some of the things I'm going to say in this blog go against traditional thinking and won't make sense, but feel free to comment and ask me questions.

I hope you guys like what I will be saying and if not, you don't have to read it
