Maybe it is because I am now considered a "Thirty Something." Maybe it is because I am now someones mom. Maybe it is because I am FINALLY growing up. Or maybe, God is preparing me for something new. But, in the recent months, I have found myself rethinking absolutely everything about my life. My faith, my beliefs, what I eat, where I live, where I shop, what I want out of life, EVERYTHING!
It is an odd and sometimes lonely place to find yourself. I feel as though I am a VERY small minority in America, and it is difficult to not just feel completely isolated and judged by the majority.
I am resurrecting my old blog about "Rethinking Church." Although the name has changed, because my life has changed.
I love to write. It helps me process. I want to write and think without reservation. However, I have a unique personality. I am easily one of the most sensitive and emotional people you will meet. I am a total people pleaser, so it is very difficult for me to write difficult and personal things and subject them to the masses.
Honestly, I stopped blogging and writing for that matter after the last Presidential Election in 2008. My blog post actually cost me friendships and the comments that people posted made my heart hurt. I am willing to give it a go again, and who knows, I might just keep it private. But, there are too many things going on in my heart and my head to hold them in any longer.
So, here's to rethinking. To educating yourself. To changing your life. To unashamedly being who God made you to be.
Love,
Kristi
