I'm starting something new here.  As with anything new, it is difficult for me to know where to begin or what to say about it because it is all speculation at this point.  The questions are the same, mostly: "What are you writing about?  What kind of writing?  What are you hoping to do with it?"  I manage to say something or other when in face to face conversation about my hard-to-peg life but mostly in the back of my mind I am scoffing, "God knows what!  I sure don't know."  Of course I have some ideas but mostly I am taking this thing one day at a time.  This just seems like the time to start moving forward with the part of my life that has been a subtle yet powerful undercurrent for as long as I can remember.

These are the details so far:

1. I quit my job
2. I'm practically embracing my 2009 resolution: simplify.
3. I vow to take myself seriously and write things down as one who believes she has something to offer the world; as one who has something to say that is worth hearing.
4. I'm not getting paid for it yet, but this is my job: Write.  Read, listen, think, pray and communicate.  Share. 

So welcome to my new blog.  This is where I will come to unveil parts of my life, my ideas and my process.  For the time being I don't have any idea how this will look, with time lines and agendas, but I will come here as often as I can and I will try to keep it tidy.  If you visit once or come here often, I would love to hear your thoughts as well.  One thing I do know is this: I cannot do this alone. 

And here we go...


"There may be a sense of where a work is going, but there are so many twists and turns in the process that the end must be honored and allowed to occur without our foreknowledge or interference.  This calls us to persevering, relentless openness."  Dan Allender, To Be Told
