why, hello there blogging world...it's been awhile.

honestly, i've tried to dust off my keyboard and start blogging a few times, but just haven't had the creative juices to actually write anything worth reading. so, while i'm not making any promises here, i'm willing to give it another try.

it's been awhile. see, i haven't blogged since my daddy got sick. and after the most valiant fight (27 days) he passed away. and in some ways, it seems like it's been an eternity already since he's been gone and in the exact same moment, i'm still shocked and it feels like it just happened last night.
so, that's my excuse. i've been spending most of my energy figuring out how to traverse this new world--one w/out my daddy--and just haven't had the gumption to blog.

but...now...here i am.

i'm ready to do as my dad always instructed..."if you're going to do something, do it well"...and well, i have the rest of my life to live... i'll live it well. because, i've learned a lot about life these past couple of months. really, i've learned a lot about how God impacts my life these past few months. because while they've been the hardest months i've ever had to face, i've seen that God is faithful...and while i could blog forever about each way God has been faithful, i'll just say that He has continually, every-single-time, shown me that He hasn't forgotten about us, He didn't miss something, nothing fell between the cracks.

and knowing that. seeing that. i'm ready to live life...and live it well.
glad to be back.
