First Go

My first blog... Scary.
So what am I to say the topic of this blog is?  Nothing in particular.  Everything at once.  All in between.  I'm a thirty-something mom of three.  Wife.  Type 1 diabetic.  Off and on runner.  Former engineer.  Beginner artist.  Even after all this, I'm still left seeking peace in my own skin...
Seeking God's purpose for me in this crazy and chaotic life I live.

I grew up on a farm.  Part of my greatest challenge today is living in a city.  In the 'burbs to be exact.  It feels like really the best of no worlds.  I don't have the convenience of city living and I'm missing the open space that comes with residing in the country.  We have good neighbours - something I will forever be thankful for - but I feel stuck in this strange and unsatisfying middle ground.  As if I don't really have a country to claim as my own.  An outsider, perhaps.  Always looking to fit in but never really finding my own niche.

So, what does this all have to do with anything?  Nothing.
Why should you choose to read?  I don't know.
To be honest, this blog is for me and my well-being.  I journey thru my journalling.  In my pages, I discover hurts but also find healing.
You are welcome to journey with me...  If you like.
