So here it is, I've decided to start a blog! I'll give you a little bit of an insight as to why I have decided to start this:
After writing my testimony last summer I found my love for witnessing and testifying to God's infinite love for us, especially His daughters. When I was privileged to give my testimony as a talk for the second time at a Confirmation retreat for the 8th graders of the Charlotte dioceses in North Carolina I decided that that was exactly what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. From there I began praying about where God wanted me to go with that desire and some ideas kept slapping me in the face. They scared me...A lot. That is exactly why I know that's where I'm suppose to go with my life..."If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." -- Right? Right. Without that fear, where is the challenge to trust God? So this blog is a little step closer to conquering my fears and surrendering to Divine Providence so that the Lord can use me to preach His infinite love to His children.
This summer I plan on sharing some of my thoughts on true feminine beauty, societies corruption of it, insecurities, miscellaneous inspirations and meditations, and simply Christ's undying love for me and His children.
Actually there is one big reason that led me to start this blog -- I've had many requests to blog about my experience traveling in Europe this coming Fall. Although I am a student at Belmont Abbey College, I have been blessed with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study abroad with Franciscan University in Gaming, Austria for the Fall semester of my junior year. Not only is traveling with strangers (as well as some friends from high school, believe it or not!) in a foreign country going to be an experience, but the classes I will be taking and the places I will be going to are going to be life changing. Therefore after summer I will transition my blog into more of a journal of my adventures in Europe.
So there you have it, my aspirations for this blog. I hope that my writing this summer will not only keep me apt on my writing skills to aid me in my English degree but will help me grow accustom to blogging before i feel obliged to write about my journey in Europe.
I hope you enjoy this blog! ...If anyone will really read it :) May God bless you and Mary pray for you!
Food for thought: "Let your faith be bigger than your fear"
