And so it begins

I have been thinking for quite a while about creating a blog. Not that I've ever anticipated that anyone would want to read what I have to share. I simply have thought about having my own blog to use as a canvas on which to display my thoughts, share my experiences, and open my heart in a new way.

Seeing as how I am beginning a new phase in my life I figured this would be just as good of a time as any to start my blog. I have now gotten settled in my dorm and am getting somewhat accustomed to Wilmore, KY. After two days of orientation, a commissioning service, a short hike at Shaker Village, an interesting experience at a Blue Grass Music Festival, and dining at some local establishments, I am actually starting to feel like I am living here and not simply visiting.

This upcoming week will be both exciting and nervous in many ways. So I say, let the adventure begin! Although I already have several topics to blog about, I will for now leave you with this introduction. Remember, I'm still getting my feet wet in this whole new world of blogging.

I will share one concern I have. Even though I believe this to be the easiest way to share with others what is going on in my life without bombarding mail boxes with mass emails, I am somewhat fearful that this will limit how often I hear from you what all is going on in your lives. So, PLEASE do not hesitate or forget to call me and share with me your lives.

Grace and Peace
