First Blog Post

Hi friend! This is SO exciting. My very first blog post! What do you say in a first blog post? … THE PRESSURE…

First, thank you for being here, reading this post. Having my own blog is a dream come true. I blogged a little in college, but that feels like a lifetime ago. I just ask for your patience as I figure out exactly what I’m doing…in other words, don’t judge the entire blog based on this post. I promise to be more interesting in the future.

Second, I really want this to be a space that exudes inspiration and encouragement. I’m going to be writing about some heavy topics from time to time, but I want to be as transparent as possible when discussing mental health (mine in particular). Tomorrow I’m going to share more about my personal battle with anxiety, and more than anything I hope that my story will be helpful to someone. I truly believe my struggle with anxiety and depression is a ministry opportunity, which in some ways makes me view it as a gift…like a really tricky, difficult, complicated gift.

Third, and finally, if you’ve made it to this point in the post, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU! I hope you’ve had an amazing start to your week, and I hope you’ll come back tomorrow.
