I am full of dirt and Him.

We had spaghetti at community group last night and from the looks of it, Benjamin really enjoyed himself!
My purposes for this blog have changed over the past months. I originally created this blog to simply, share; share my thoughts, my desires, my dreams and my ideas. While I am still wanting to do and share those things, I feel like the purpose of doing so has changed. I am feeling a tremendous calling to be a light to young women who are or around my age. I feel like being a twenty-something girl in modern society, is a difficult challenge, to say the least. There are so many people telling young women who to be, what to do, who to date, what to wear and even how much they should weigh. I have felt this pressure barreling down on me at times. It will be a lifetime of struggle to try and overcome what society is pushing so forcefully into my head, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it is burning bright.
I have struggled a lot with what I should do with my life. I feel like this statement is so mundane, but I don’t know how else to say it. I had a great opportunity being handed to me, one that could support me and take me to newer and greater opportunities, but it wasn’t right. There were times when I tried to ignore the overwhelming inclination that this choice wasn’t the best for me, but it didn’t work. I decided to audit a class at Multnomah University this semester and step-down from my position; I decided to give it over to God and follow what he wants me to do. As soon as I made this decision, my eyes were opened; they were opened to my hearts desires and also to my incredulous sin of pride. I realized what I want to spend my life doing; living, loving, serving, giving, all for the glory of Jesus Christ.
As I enter into new seasons of my life, I am not sure what to anticipate. To every thing, there is a season and my desire is for this blog is to share the struggles, joys and desires of a young, single, Christian woman, trying to shed light in an overwhelmingly secular society.
