The Heart Beat {Blogging Beginnings #4}

It is God. Without God this blog means nothing, it is just another place where words are being said. And lets be honest, words are being said everywhere.  All types of words are constantly screamed at us: happy words, bad words, sad words, funny words, words, words, words. I don't want this to simply be another cluster of words. That is meaningless. I am praying for something much more. I am praying that God's Spirit will use these words to move in you. I am praying that he will be exalted through these words.  I am praying that these words will display him more clearly and that his love and redemption will shine through my words. The heart beat of this blog is not about me. This is not a place for me to vent, I have a journal for that. This blog is not about me dealing with my pain, I have mentors that walk me through that. The heart beat of this blog is to glorify God. It is to display his work of redemption in my life. It is to display his plan, his heart and his love. So this is the end of my blogging beginnings. I did these first five posts to give you some context to understand what is going to appear on these pages.  May God be glorified. 

a Rough Idea and a Shimmer of Hope {Blogging Beginnings #3}

I have a rough idea about where this blog is headed and a shimmer of hope for the outcome.

 I want to paint a picture God bringing beauty out of the brokenness.  

I want to show girls that they will not only survive their first breakup but that they will grow even more beautiful through it. 

I want to provide proof that even in the midst of divorce God is good.  

I want to make you laugh as you read my stupid mistakes, and as you remember yours. 

I want to point to hope. 

I want to encourage you to see past your pain and to see God. 

I want to display the beautiful reality of being redeemed, refined and redefined.

I want this blog to be a place of refuge where you can go, no matter how hard life gets, to read about God's goodness and his plan. 

I want to help you see God.

I have a shimmer of hope that this blog might actually do some of this rough idea. 

Blogging Beginnings

There is something very special about beginnings. They are precious and only last a moment. Beginnings require nurturing and care, patients and persistence. They are never easy, but we cherish them so much, perhaps because we can never get the beginning back.  This is my blogging beginnings.

I feel a little like a new mother. I don't know how to care for this blog and it is completely up to me to keep it alive.  I feel awkward and unsure of myself, but that is how all beginnings tend to start. Remember the first time you held a pencil or tried to ride a bike. It is scary and nerve racking and so exciting. So here I am, blogging. I am scared, intrigued, thrilled. I have so many hopes and dreams for this blog. I have so many uncertainties as well. It is an adventure, one that I don't care to go on alone. So I, Kc Medley, would like to welcome you to join with me in my blogging beginnings.
