Intro

This begins my foray into the blogging world. I suppose the best way to begin is to explain my reasoning behind joining the online community.

I have always considered myself to be a rather reserved person. Many people do not know me, although they know of me. I'm the girl with the laugh. "Hey, do you know Andrea?" "Is she the one with the laugh?" "Yeah, that's her." End of conversation. Although it is... comforting... to be known for something, it do not want that to be defining trait. If anything it should be my heart for Christ. And so my blog begins.

Struggling with opening up too much to people, I have realized that many people do not know who I am. And if y'all do not know who I am, how can I share with you how Christ is transforming my life?

So here is the preface for my blog. I may not always be grammatically or politically correct. I will spell incorrectly. As a science student studying to be a pharmacist, my ability to form large, complex sentences has dwindled. And I love commas.

I will do my best to not begin every story, thought, or sentence with 'so' as I have a tendency to do that. But sometimes, it is the perfect introduction. I will try to update regularly. Most likely I will discuss questions that I have with the bible, the doubts that I have about God, the things that I have debated with God over, and most likely stories from the awkwardness that is my life. This summer I have learned how refreshing it is when I visit blogs and something new is posted, and how frustrating it is when nothing new is posted for an extended period.

Being challenged recently to share the deeper side of me with more people and more often then when I meet with friends for coffee, I figured this was the best way of doing that. It will also give me the ability to keep those friends of mine that I haven't had coffee with in a long time, haven't spoken to in a while, or who think that I have forgotten about them, updated on my life and to join me in conversation about life, laughter, and lamenting.
