My First Blog: Keeping It Real for Jesus

Hi All,

For those of you who are actually interested enough to read this, my name is Lindsey and as the title so blatantly states, this is my FIRST blog! Woo-hoo!

I guess the first order of business I should address is why in the world I would start a blog??? And the answer to that question would be that I actually felt led by the Lord to start it. I know, I know. I can't believe it! Why would the Lord ask me to start a blog?

Well, for those reading this that don't know me, I am a very guarded person.  For some reason, I find it very difficult to let people in. I even struggle to let those who I am closest to in. I think majority of my guarded nature has to do with pride.

When people look at me, I want them to see someone who has it all together, someone who knows who they are and where they are headed, someone who is basically perfect. However, this mindset is so wrong. Majority of the time, I don't have it all together. Being in a transitional phase in my life, I am just beginning to put all of the puzzle pieces of life together and discover where I fit. I am nowhere near perfect, nor will I ever be. (And yes, admitting this was hard for me, just in case you were wondering.)

However, this year I am striving to change. With the Lord's help, my goal is to be transparent. At the church I currently attend, instead of making new years resolutions, we adopt one word to focus on for the year, and you guessed it, my word is transparency, which I hope attain through this blog and by opening up more to my friends as family. By boasting in my weaknesses , I aspire to bring glory to the Lords name! If you want to continue reading about how the Lord is doing a Great work in a young girls like, please feel free to follow!
