I don't know when it happened or how but I think I am becoming a writer. I have tried many times to keep journals, to write stories, to write plays, to blog, etc. but right now in my life I seem to have a lot on my brain. I need to get it out. I feel like the best way to do that is put pen to paper (or characters behind a cursor as the case may be).
I have no idea if anybody will want to read what I have to say, but I am just going to put it out here. I am not going to tag anybody. If you feel like commenting, please do - it will be much appreciated. I feel like I do have an unique life, so maybe it will be interesting to someone. Maybe it will be a blessing to someone. Maybe it will be helpful to someone. Maybe it will just be downright hilarious and ridiculous to someone. I don't know. I just feel like this is something God is nudging me to do and for once, I am going to try to listen to that nudge the first time (you know, before it becomes that smack up side the head that I get so often!)
Call it a blog. Call it a column. Call it a silly personal indulgence. Whatever you call it - this is what my writing will include. It will include how I deal with life. How I deal with life with MS. How I deal with life parenting an "adopted" teen that I did not give birth to, nor have I even known since her birth. It will include my life as a married Christian modern woman. It will include my life lived as one of the few white families in my inner-city neighborhood. I will share my love for my family, my friends, my neighbors, my city and my country. I will share my struggles as a lower middle-class, penny-pinching, coupon-clipping, change-saving, tree-hugging family.
I will share me. Thank you for reading.
