This is me

I had been hesitating for months to create my own blog. I did create a special event blog for a 7 week trip I took to the Philippines, but I wasn't really sure about creating an blog for everyday life. I have been following a couple of other blogs for a couple of months and I realized how much I wanted to be able to put my thoughts and stories out there.

Specifically, I am in a very transitional phase of life. I am mostly out in the real world, but still in grad school, working part time. For those of you that know me, most of this information isn't really that new to you.

I am a Christian, a disciple of Jesus. He has His hand on my life in incredible ways. The reason I named this blog Seek,Fight, Pray is that I want to seek Him in everything I do. He saved me, yanking me by the collar from the very proud and dangerous path I was going down. (Isaiah 53:6, John 3:16) In fact, tomorrow is six years since He called out to me to follow Him (Luke 9:57-62). I am fighting for the joy that He promises in His Word, the Bible. This is not a call to a life of ease and comfort, but a life in relationship to my Creator who loves me unconditionally. In following Him, I have to daily put my life in His hands. So I pray. I give him control, I ask Him where He is working and ask Him to send me there.

So why write this blog: I have been encouraged by following others' stories. Someone told me the other day, that the phase of life I am in, is likely the most difficult. (Yeah...No Kidding!) I hope that my journey may be a voice of encouragement to you no matter where you are in life.
