This situation.

I decided to start this situation.  This blog.  It is for my self.  To reflect and to share in a different way than writing in my journal.  It is not to boast in myself or a cry for attention.  My presumption is that most people who start blogs have a deep desire to be the next cool blog... but that is my cynical heart.

I want this to be a safe space where I can share my new season of marriage and life.  Today it has been a whole month that I have now been married to the stud, Reed Moore.

In a brief summary of what is my life now, I quit my job with the support of my then fiance, now husband.  It was not an easy decision, but I am super thankful that I have had this time to adjust to the chaos of change.

Along with that, I have been spending a lot of time hanging out a community center that has an after school program for inner city kids.  It is apart of the church/community I am apart of, and in a crazy way it is refreshing for my young adult soul to be around these kids.  At the same time, it is really hard when you see the brokenness and darkness in these kid's and their culture.  This has been a small part of my pursuit to be certified as a teacher.  (Now looking into getting my MAT in elementary or middle teaching)

On this, I want to be able to be authentic and transparent, because I value that.  I think Jesus lived that way on earth, and since He is still alive, desires us to live that way also.  I want to share the sin in my heart and the brokenness I see, and how I see God redeem it.  I know that amidst all of the darkness in the world, that He is so good at making all things beautiful.
