More than to just keep others informed about my whereabouts, the writing of this blog comes out of my desire to share my story, that it might bring life to others. Stories have so much power in them to encourage and inspire. Whether it is relating to someone’s struggle, or being brought hope by someone’s victory, stories give us a true perspective that we are not alone and there is more to our journey than the moment we are living in. Much of my life and my decisions were the result of hearing someone else’s story, and I hope that telling my story is able to have the same influence on you.
