Let's try this again.

i know myself. i started this blog before my student teaching, wondering if i would stay committed. and it flopped.

it was like college: at the end of the day, i had the choice between staying up to read a great book i'd been wanting to read for a while, and passing out. 9 times out of 10, i chose to collapse in my bed, falling asleep before my head hit the pillow...literally (just ask my roommates). student teaching was the same. each day was so full that at the end of it, i was spent. i had nothing left to give a blog or those reading it.

so, as the old addage goes: if at first you don't succeed...you know the rest. i'm going to give this another try. i have a different vision this time. it's not going to be just about what i'm doing in life, my day to day in oklahoma. what i really want for this blog is inspired by 1 corinthians 10:31.

"so whether you eat or drink (or blog), or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

that's it. this blog is for Him. that people may read about Him, His goodness, His fame. i will share what He's teaching me, what I'm learning where I am. everything will be through a broken, empty vessel. i pray this glorifies You, Father.

so if you're still with me, thanks. let's give this another shot.
