#1 Starting a Blog

I make lots of resolutions. Some of them I keep, some of them I break, some of them I forget that I ever made in the first place. I love making lists too. Grocery lists, to-do lists, bucket lists, lists of resolutions especially… I make lots of those. Anyway, somewhere in the middle of one of my lists of resolutions is the resolution to start a blog. Maybe this is due to my fear or forgetting my life after it happens, and maybe it’s just me jumping on the blogging bandwagon. Either way, I do think it’s such a shame to have so many experiences and learn so many things then forget that they ever happened. It’s almost the same thing as them never having happened in the first place. Not quite…but almost. All that to say, I’m starting a blog in an attempt to document the remainder of my college experience. Things I do, people I meet, places I go, things I learn. These first two years had more substance to them than I could even begin to relate. So much growth, mercy, brokenness, community, and hope packed into the space of two years. And from the very beginning of freshman year to the end of sophomore year, there has been an overarching, unending theme of grace that ties everything together and will continue to tie everything together until my story is finished, perfectly woven into the story of redemption.
