Unchartered Territory

By the title of my blog, you may wonder if I'm hoarding a delicious secret. Maybe you've inferred that my life is one of constant joy. You could even assume that this is a record of my weight loss journey after popping one too many buttons. Well, I hope that glimpses of all three ideas (yes, even the last one!) will rise to the surface as I share my days with you.


To be honest, my life is simple - yet drenched with the love and anointing of our Almighty Creator. I'm not anyone special, but God has had my name etched into his heart before seconds began to tick on the clock of our universe. Although I am just one person among millions, God has chosen to be my Father and my Friend. Sometimes it's difficult to see this past the dirty diapers, the thrown-together meals, the hectic schedules, and the many disappointments with my imperfect self.


But the truth is this: God has a divine plan for my life woven on the threads of His heavenly love. Circumstances may be delightful one day, then difficult and demanding the next. But it's always a life saturated with grace.  


And THAT is why I'm bursting at the seams.
