To Begin Again…

January 26, 2019

Thanks to a friend, I began blogging in 2006. It’s been quite the journey, one with numerous ups and downs. As I reflect on my years in the blog-o-sphere, I realize most of the “ups” happened when I simply shared my story; when I worried about messy, true words instead of platform, performance, and purpose.

I miss the days when all that mattered was a pretty spot on the internet to pen my process.

The last two years have yielded more change than any other season in my life. I am discovering that in this space and time, I need to return to the unsophisticated place of telling my story without worrying if the plot line has rabbit trails or if it deviates from the main theme. You see, I am on an amazing journey, and if I am not careful I am going to miss it. I need a space beyond my journal to catalogue my life, to celebrate my victories, to mourn my losses, to work out my questions. This has always been that sacred space. And so, it will be again.

It will be an honor if you join me on the journey, but I can’t tell you where we are going. For now, all I can say is enjoy the ride. In the end, I am sure we will have cultivated a beautiful tale. For it really is His story that we are living and telling.

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

~ Philippians 1:6, ESV

Blessings on the journey,

Amy

Instagram post 1501876902377136581_213383097 Dear Mom, Has your week been like mine? Hard? Full of stress? Not what you expected or wanted? Maybe, like me, you are clinging to hope that tomorrow will be the start of something new. Something better. I have good news! Every morning comes full of hope, and it's not because the clock ticked past midnight or because the sun lifted over the horizon. It's because Jesus is faithful! The really good news is that we don't have to wait until morning to take hold of His new mercies. My prayer, wherever and whenever you are, is that you feel the warmth of His presence resting on your today. •

Lamentation 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. •

I know these feelings; I imagine you do, too. In these places our deepest pain and the most profound silence, God always shows up and moves us from grief to grace.

Dear Mom, Remember this: Your Savior knows you by name. He sees you in the midst of motherhood. •
