More of Me *gag*

I've been rethinking this thing. My blog. I want to broaden it's scope.

It represents a portion of my journey and who I am. But often I feel a bit confined. I could go into great detail and explain the hows and whys but that would be boring. For you and for me. And basically, it's my blog and I can do what I want.

So, heretofore (I'm not really sure what that means but it seems to fit here) I will be expanding my post subjects to be more representative of who I am day-to-day. Not that I'll be posting day-to-day. If you've hung around here even a little you'll know not to hold your breath. However, I do hope to post more routinely. Uh, and when I figure out the routine you'll be the first to know.

As long as I'm breathing I will continue to experience the spectacular, irrational love of God. He's been revealing His love to me in so many new ways. He has whispered His love over me even in the last few days. It brought me to tears because He did this in spite of my utter neglect in my relationship with Him. Because I'm His child, His daughter. That's it. Also it is my desire, as long as I am breathing, to keep striving to love others as He has and is loving me. And I'm pretty sure I've got enough challenges to last a lifetime. So, irrational love will quite certainly remain a primary thread here.

Sprinkled in and wound all through the glimpses of Him, the spiritual growth spurts and face-plant failures is the rest of me. The whole of my life here on this earth. I want this to be a more accurate sharing of most of me. Most of me 'cause it just ain't healthy, or pretty, for me to share all.

Thanks for journeying with me this far. I hope you'll stay. Either way, I'll be here.

And now that I've used "I" and "me" and "my" more times than I can stomach, I'm off to brush my teeth. Or wash my mouth out with soap.

While I do, you can divert yourself with this.

Thanks for chatting with me and getting me through my homesickness. I read your blog, and
I thought of these lyrics from Chris Tomlin:

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

- There are a lot of I's in that song just like your blog!

And for the many of you who don't know my beautiful friend, Kerry, you can read more about her and her wonderful family at the Rich & Kerry... link under 'places i visit' on my main page.

A fellow music lyric lover! :) I loved it, Kerry! Thanks for sharing!

Jen, can't wait to hear more about you. As you can tell from my blog I just kind of lay it all out there. Then I think "why did I do that?!" :) Can't wait to read your more routine posts! :)

Ooh! More from Jen's brain and heart! I'm super excited - not holding my breath because I might cease to live if I do - but I am looking forward to hearing more.

Jen- YAY!! I think that this forum gives us an opportunity to not only keep up with each other more regularly, but we get another facet. We get info about each other we may not otherwise have asked about or had the opportunity talk about.

Ahhh, Jen, it is good to "hear" your voice again! I'm glad you've been thinking about your blog and you are willing for God to use you to chronicle His irrational love.

And both my sons watched and laughed at this video with me. Very funny!
