The Gist

What led me to starting my own blog?  It's a long story.  And I will share that with you over time.  But for now...
This last year and a half have been a time of learning, growing, and becoming for me.  A season of major change.  I went from being a carefree, secure girl, engaged to the love of her life, to an uptight, stressed out young woman struggling to balance new motherhood and a serious breakup, to a responsible, mature, loving, nurturing mother with a love for Jesus that she shares with her son.  A few months ago, I could hardly survive, and now I thrive.  The past six months has been some of the most torturous, excruiciating, heart-wrenching  seasons that I think any young lady could go through.  I am proud to say that I am now a wonderful mother to an even more wonderful baby, and I balance a full-time job at Nature's Food Market in Berlin, and full-time online schooling through University of Phoenix.  I never would have thought that would be me.  But I now know that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
