questions.

Ah, the awkward first post. There are fresh pages to be written but it is so hard to just start sometimes.

So, "Hi, I'm Kerith. I'm a Christ-following, yoga-loving, wife & Mama from Texas. I am a Pisces and like long walks on the beach. Oh, and red wine."

I guess the trouble with fresh blogs are all the questions & possibilities. Who am I writing to? What am I writing about? When will I write? How will I keep it interesting?

I say write to everyone about everything whenever you can and share your heart. But that is much easier said than done.

So how about I start with the one question I actually know my answer to.

WHY?

Ahhhhh there it is. 

I love how reading other blogs the past few years has had a profound effect on my life. It widens your perspective. It makes you question (and ultimately become more convicted) in your own beliefs. It gives you strength and confidence when you find yourself in a situation similar to something someone else has faced. And it gives you compassion for others.

I feel like each and every one of us has an awesome story to tell. This world is an amazing place and our experiences are given meaning and substance when we share them with others. Our interactions, relationships, careers, families & spiritual beliefs....our strengths & weaknesses, joy & pain, convictions & questions...they are all different and unique. Which makes them incredibly important and SO worthy of sharing. 

So, why? Because I'd like to tell MY story. Whatever that might be. I have no idea what God has planned for my future. But I do know this: IT IS GOOD (hello Jeremiah 29:11). And I also believe that because HE has written it, my simple little life is a story worth sharing.

Afterall:
