A New Beginning!

Introductions really aren't my thing. I mean, I love meeting new people, but I almost wish we lived in a world where we carried around a card that we could all swipe and store in our "databases" that gave us all of the information we would ever need to know about that person... I feel like that would be of great service to those of us who really don't like to introduce ourselves.

I can't say I don't like to talk about myself, because I have a blog... Which to me, is like a Facebook: You have one because you want others to know about you, and you only put things on there that make you look better.

My blog will not be like Facebook.

I'm a very honest person, and I am not shy about my feelings. I'm the girl in my classes that is always sharing deep, intense personal stories with the entire class during discussions. I'm not afraid to share who I am, where I have been, and how I have gotten to this point in time.

This point in time is me, sitting on a couch in a lounge, waiting for my significant other to get out of class :) I should be doing my homework, but after a recent addiction to another blog, I have been inspired to revive mine. I had an old blog, but deleted it to start anew. Hence, the title, "A New Beginning".

As you may also have inferred from the title of this blog, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as a Mormon. I am currently attending Brigham Young University - Idaho, which is an LDS school. (LDS stands for "Latter-day Saint", if you were unaware. We Mormons have a ton of acronyms!). I am a recent convert into the church. I was baptized on July 24, 2010. Best decision I could have ever made.

This blog will essentially be my journal. I know that very few people will read it, but I hope that for those of you who do, you will get something out of my words. My brain is a complex place. Even I have a hard time with it on occasion. But it is my hope and prayer that through this blog, I can bring joy, comfort, peace, happiness, or even love to someone who reads it.

Recently, I have become addicted to a blog that is helping me in ways I never knew I would need help in.

This woman is amazing. I found her while searching for some peace and answers to a question that plagues my mind on a daily basis... She is also LDS. She is the wife of a man enlisted in the United States Army. She, like me, is very passionate about English (I am, however, a nursing major). Her words are emotional, raw, powerful... They are everything I have needed recently. I urge you to take a peek at the treasures she has to offer. You will not be disappointed, I promise :)

Well, I have homework to do... So, I will say "good-bye" for now.

Until next time :)
