Goin' Naked: My first blog. This is scary. All those random ran...: My first blog. This is scary. All those random rants,raves,ups,downs that were before held privately or amongst friends will now be naked an.. exposed for all the world to see. I am not very computer savvy and hope that the word naked doesn't attract creepy traffic to my blog.
For years I have been faced with the challenge of trying to learn what my purpose is. What gifts or talents am I supposed to be using? I, like many others, read Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. I enjoyed the book and was encouraged by it but didn't come away with any general title for myself. As a Christian, and according to the catechisms, I know I was created to glorify God and enjoy him forever but so was everyone else. What special talents did He give me? A friend told me one day how she thinks that some are given the gift of "just being" and how she thought that could be true of me. She pointed out how she thought "just being" would be an easy gift as opposed to a gift that requires action or doing. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed with her words as I was hoping for something a little more important or glamorous. How would "just being" help others, change the world,change me, my ego,my popularity, change the balance in my checking account? We see clearly who I was most concerned about don't we? Myself. Perhaps that could've been what was in the way of finding my purpose. I kept tripping over my big self. Others tell me they are encouraged by my life, they find humor when I share funny stories, and they are reminded of God's faithfulness as I wake up and do it all over again each day because I trust Him.
What can you expect from my blog? People are always asking me questions about everything. How did I find a work at home job? Why am I in a wheelchair? Why do I watch Teen Mom? My faith. I'll cover a little bit of everything and not always about me and my disability. Just life in general and living it to the fullest.
