So... I started a blog which I always considered slightly too narcissistic for me. However, I'm a sellout. I admit it. And, apparently, narcissistic. Which isn't that surprising.
Really though, I just thought this would be a good way to keep my good friends updated on what is up in my life once I'm an Oregonian. I miss you all already even though I'm still in Missouri. It has just been so weird, preparing for this move. I'm a woman who wants adventure, craves it, seeks it. Here I am on the verge of a great adventure, and I'm freaking scared. But I think that that is only right. If there is one thing I've learned about the Lord, it is that He delights in seeing us uncomfortable. And as I have consistently prayed to Him to keep me uncomfortable and to challenge me, He has answered that prayer.
Hey, just so you know, if you are reading this it is most likely because I LOVE YOU. Really, I hope that every one of you knows what you have meant in my life. I once was a scared little girl, spinning out of control, certain that no one loved her. First, I discovered the Lord's love and then He blessed me with all of yours. I can't tell you what a difference it has made to have all of you in my life, loving me the way you do. That has become more and more evident as I've been living at home these past few weeks. For a long time now, my heart has sought to love with abandon. I wasn't able to do that until I understood Love from my heavenly father. Each one of you has made that real for me. When I think of home, it is your faces I see. Thank you for who you are.
OK, clearly I'm very emotional as I prepare for this move. But there it is, there's where I'm at. I'm scared, I'm grateful, I'm in love with the Lord and the crazy people He has put in my life. I want to continue to share life with all of you. So keep reading, call me on my landline (ghetto!), and COME VISIT!
Much Love,
Kate
