This is my first time ever doing a blog. I want to give a quick explanation. I am 25 at the time I am starting this blog. I have been married for almost 3 months, and have had a debilitating migraine headache for 77 days and counting.  Consequently, I cannot work, but as a blessing have had plenty of time for prayer, bible study (when I feel up to having my eyes open) and listening to many sermons on my ipod. 
A little less than a year ago I realized that I was feeling a call to the ministry. I had previously always considered being in the ministry as being a pastor, which as a strongly raised Southern Baptist believes is not a job to be performed by women. When I finally quit fighting it enough, I realized there are so many different ways to serve, that do not involve church leadership. I had sort of put it on the back burner for most of this time, while putting most of my energy into planning our wedding.  I have recently had it brought back to the forefront of my mind, for several reasons. With it being in the front of my mind, I have done a lot of praying about it over the last week or so, and been troubled a lot with the fact that I feel extremely limited at this point in my life with how I can serve. Since I have been so sick as of late, I hardly leave my house, and therefore have limited contact with anyone other than my husband. When I do get out, it is usually to a weekly Bible study, so I really don't see many non-Christians at all.  It came to me as I was laying in bed praying, since I was having such trouble sleeping: I could find away to journal, or somehow communicate my interpretation of the love and knowledge of Christ. (ergo, you are reading my first blog!)
I would like to commit to posting at least a couple times a week. I will update about what I am learning and experiencing in my relationship with Christ, as well as prayer requests, that I would love for you to share in. Please feel free to provide feedback, and ask any questions you may have.
