Well, I haven’t had a lot of writing ideas here lately. No, let me take that back. Actually I have a ton of stuff going on in my mind, but it’s all kinda jumbled up. It makes perfect sense to me but if I tried to explain it to anybody else, they would be staring at me with a blank look and saying, “huh?” This happens to me more frequently than I care to admit. Why do I have such a hard time articulating myself and expressing my thoughts? I don’t know, but it’s one of those things that I am hoping will change as I continue my journal.
The only thing I will say right now is that 2006 was a hard year for me personally. There were A LOT of changes going on. I had lots of questions for God. Fighting and tears. Frustration. There were very good things too, don’t get me wrong. New friends, achievements, and who could forget…this blog??? I looked toward Heaven through it all and have found such amazing peace in 2007. There are still many unanswered questions. But the cool thing is, and it’s obviously such a “God thing”, is that it’s all starting to make sense.
The friends I made, the books I read, the class I took, etc. It cannot be coincidence that in the end, they all had the same central theme, even though on the outside, I would have never imagined that they would be related at all. But it’s all coming together like a giant puzzle. One piece at a time. “Peace” by piece.
God is so cool and I can’t wait to give Him the glory for all the events of 2006. I just don’t feel like it’s the right time. I don’t know if I will write about all of it or each thing one at a time. Some of it involves Jeremy and I will need permission to use his story. And like I said earlier, it’s too jumbled up right now to make any sense to anyone else anyways. But it’s going to be an awesome story when the time is right. Just keep reading…
