. . . and a glass of grace

I had emailed one of my aunts this past week (visit her here) & had mentioned that I felt disconnected & afraid of blogging. I had so many things that I wanted to write about, but wasn't sure if I would be able to share my thoughts in a place that I felt disconnected & estranged from. Her suggestion: start a new blog.

I spent the last few days going back & forth between witty blog names (life of an eland anyone?) and more serious topics (behold the Lord is with us! {kidding}); however, I kept coming back & feeling completely insecure about it all.

Who will want to listen to what I have to say?

Why am I writing?

What I am going to make this blog even look like?

What's the vibe I'm looking for?

All of these thoughts kept nagging me & moving farther away from what I really want this to be about, and none of it was productive.

Finally, I sat down with my husband {his name is Jason} & started throwing out thoughts & eventually I got to where I am:

. . . and a Glass of Grace

Isn't that what we all need or sometimes wish we had? It's something that I am needing {if not craving} on a daily basis, whether I'm at home or at work. Happy or sad. It's something that I long for & am thankful that it's readily available to me either from those around me or the Lord reminding me that He has already extended it to me.

Maybe you'll receive or extend grace to me while you're reading this. If so, please feel free to share your thoughts via comments or email. 

I do want to welcome & thank you for reading. I'll be updating the look & layout as time goes by {a dear friend is helping me make the look "me"}, so come back & enjoy.
