In a Nutshell...

I'm inconsistent. I have half-knitted scarves that will never be worn. My shelf is full of books that will forever have a marked page three-quarters of the way through. And I start blogs and forget about them. Yet here I am, starting a new blog. Again.

Here's my purpose, in a nutshell. I think about my past a lot. About how I left college long before I graduated, and how I still believe that's one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. I love learning. I envy those who are continually sitting in a classroom, listening to an interesting lecture and challenging their brains. I miss taking notes and highlighting a textbook. I miss learning and challenging myself. But, then I realize, I am learning. Every single day! If I'm breathing, then there is a leason to be learned. When I lay down to sleep at night, I've learned at least one new lesson since I got out of bed that morning.

What can you expect from this blog? You can expect to read about the big, emotional lessons that I learn throughout my days as a Christ-follower, wife, mom, sister, and friend. You can also expect to read about the tiny, seemingly insignificant, and sometimes comical, lessons I learn about random things in my day. But every day, I'll learn something. And every day, I'll write about it

Remember when I said I'm inconsistent? Well, that's very true. Which is why as much as I say I want to write every day, I won't. I'll forget. I'll be too tired. I'll not have access to a computer. But I will try my best to keep up with this blog. Not neccessarily for your sake. But for mine. To prove to myself that I am indeed learning every day. And to chronicle my journey of learning.

So, here goes nothing. I hope maybe you can learn from my lessons in the process.
