About Me

Why write...?
Recently in a counseling session, I found out I have too many words. Actually, it's not that I have too many words, it's that I have a lot more words than my highschool sweetheart, and he can't always keep up. Therefore, a blog was born. A place for me to use all of my extra words and thoughts so I don't overwhelm people. That is a hint to those of you reading, that I may become quite long winded when composing these thoughts...

And that is really what I do a lot of. Rather then post answers to the worlds problems, I compose them. I ask questions and make statements, because I am, A Work in Progress. I can't sit here and tell you I have all the answers, because I don't. Which is why I attend church regularly, as well as College BS... (Bible Study).

Where to find me heart...
I give my heart to God, and let Him mold it at His will. I am content with His blessings and humbled that He would even offer them to me in the first place. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, I am human! But, my God is high and He is mighty, and He has absolute control of my heart, my life, and this path that He is walking with me.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans for a hope and a future.'"

~Jeremiah 29:11~

Isn't it comforting to know that He has a plan, and that He intends for good in all things He does? When I don't know the answers to my questions, I let God take them. I trust that my all powerful God has control of even the things I don't know of yet...

A little more about me...

I love to read! You can check out my favorites under my Book Review. Although, I've discovered that when I read a really good book, I take on the mood of the person I'm reading about. When a character loves, I love even harder. When a characters heart breaks, my heart breaks. When a character gets really mad, I get mad. And when a character feels Gods grace and mercy and love, I feel it too. I have to be very careful what I read, and when I stop reading. We all know that almost all books have a happy ending, which is why it is almost safer to read an entire book in one setting than to put the book down when a character is experiencing something. I have been known to take those feelings out on people, (sorry Logan). The good ones are fine, but when a character is mad or sad, I reflect that feeling... Like I said, not always good.

I also love a good love story. I truly believe, that whether you believe it or not, your love story was written by God. How perfect is it, that someone so powerful and all knowing could love me?? And then on top of that, love me so much that He does not want me to live this life alone. I do believe, that innocent little, unmarried me, has a fine chance of having one of these love stories... And I can't wait to be able to tell it!! So, if anyone, should happen to want to share their love story with me, and possibly other young ladies, PLEASE, type it up, and send it to my email shurd_92@hotmail.com. If, and only if you are comfortable with others reading your love story, please let me know that it is ok to share on this blog. I will not share it without your permission! This is YOUR love story, if it has to be told with a little TMI, tears, heartbreak, etc. to get to the good part, SO BE IT! God wrote it, share the journey God has led you and your loved one on!

What to expect...

What you can expect from this blog is to see a young lady, whose heart craves God. You will experience me struggling, and you will experience me understanding. I hope that in all situations, you pray for me. Prayer is the greatest thing we can do for each other as followers of Christ. Leave me comments, let me know what you think of the things I say, so that I can further process my thoughts. Support me, encourage me, and through that I will do everything I can to do the same for those viewing this. Like I said, I'm still A Work in Progress.
