What’s the purpose?

So, I’m not sure why I created this blog. A part of me wants to say it’s to keep in touch with long lost and far away friends. But, while I miss you all, I don’t think that’s it.

Another part of me is making fun of myself for waiting this long to actually enter the cyber-world. You may or may not know that it took me years to actually get a cell phone (I only caved in August, because my husband’s employer picked up the tab for it). I just got an ipod, and must admit that I’m not sure how most of it works. I’m not technology illiterate. I just hate following trends. I don’t want to be on the cover of TIME Magazine because I recorded myself doing something stupid and posted it on YouTube.

So, why a blog? I’ve been asking myself that question for a while, and here’s what I’ve come up with. I’m a stay-at-home mom who just moved to a new town where I have no contact with anyone except my family and the cashier at Safeway. I am also an artist who has all of these thoughts, ideas, questions and visions in my head. Where do those thoughts go with no outlet? They get lodged inside of me and actually have been giving me quite a bad headache.

So, This is my outlet. My place to write down my thoughts and questions about life, God, parenting and anything else. My place to share my latest photographic or digital creation. My place to talk through all of the monumental changes happening in my heart, my world and the church (you’ll hear more about that later).

And with that, let me share with you what I got to wake up to yesterday morning. I had to pop the screen out of my bedroom window to get a clear image, but it was beautiful. It was as if the day started with this pent up energy exploding into the sky. It was fantastic.
