And we meet again.....

Okay....here I am almost a year later from my last post! ha! I sorta got out of my bogging phase...and then realized how I really want to be an official "blogger"! (even if no one reads it ..in a way it is kind of therapeutic). 2010 has been one crazy year! As many of you know I experienced the unimaginable......my home invasion/attempted kidnapping. Yes, my la-ti-da world was turned upside down, but by the grace of God I have started piecing it back together again. There are days...oh there are days! I am still in the middle of a trial (that will more than likely go into the middle of next year), I am battling the daily emotion of fear and the thought of "will I ever be able to go grocery shopping alone again?" Needless to say I am picking up the pieces...and learning that the Lord can take the worst of circumstances and use them for His glory. I know that my life will never be the same....and that statement is bitter sweet.....I miss my innocence....the girl who thought that "nothing like that will ever happen to me"......but I love who God is molding me into....a woman who knows that bad things can happen to good people and that experiences will leave a lasting impression. A woman who knows that I am loved by my Savior and that he is walking me through this journey step by step, day by day.....He never lets go. I have learned "normal" will never be again...however I am creating a "new normal".....and that is ok...in fact it can be a blessing in disguise.

Blogging is going to be part of my "new normal"......I have officially decided....let's hope this goes a little better than my 2009 attempt.
