And So It Begins

Actually, it all began long before I even existed. :)

I want to welcome you warmly to the Lamp Post, my shining light at a small crossroads of the internet.

To those of who you don't know me, I'm a 3rd year university student who started her walk with God a little over two months ago. In the short span of time that has followed, I've been challenged, changed, and charged with passion in ways I never could have dreamed. Giving my life over to Jesus is the greatest and also most humbling experience in all of my life.

The moment my heart opened and my walk began, I knew that this was going to be an adventure that would have a lasting impact on my life. To go from being a cynical pantheist, raised in a secular/atheist home, to being a humbled sister in Christ on fire for God, took more than a little exploration and examination of myself and the world around me. It hasn't been an easy journey, but that's what's made it exciting.

I hope that this blog allows me to shine some of my light into the dark corners of the internet. I hope to share my experiences, past and present, in an honest and engaging manner with those who are seeking to seek, those who are seeking God, or those who have already found God. Walk alongside me as I am stretched by God and grow in my faith. Like a child, keep your eyes open and never stop asking questions. Make mistakes. Get messy. And know that God is there always to pick you up, dust you off, and urge you gently onward.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Visit often, say hello, and make yourself at home. Peace! :)
