Ah. Don't you love the feeling of a fresh new start? That's how I feel right now as I type in the very first words of this new journal-of-sorts of mine. A new beginning. Of course, I start waaay too many journals and never continue on with them... but this one, I hope, will be a little easier to keep up with.

 My reasons, you ask?

 1) It's stored online (can be accessed on any computer, can't ever be accidentally lost/deleted), no size limit. (hooray for unlimited space!)
 2) I can start posting PICTURES of daily life (double hooray for unlimited space!): One of the things I've always wanted to incorporate into journaling as that is where my heart is, but I've never been able to figure out how to do that in an efficient way. This should make it much, much easier. =)
 3) Okay, okay. YES. this is a little more fun than a plain and sorry Word document. I'm an honest person, right??
4) This is much more organized than my other attempts. Dated posts and all! (Hey, I can even label my posts? Neato =P)

I've really been in that "need to be journaling again" mood, and I hope it stays a while. Journals and I don't get along very well all the time (its just part of the package, I guess, when you're a "thinker-in-pictures-and-not-in-words"), but it's always so, so good for me to get to putting my thoughts on paper.

 Well, I didn't squeeze much into this first post. HOWEVER. I've got lots on my heart and even more in my head, it'll just have to wait until another time.

 After all, this IS a start, isn't it?

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”
Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."
the simplest of notions can put my heart at so much peace as I think about it's truth.  Bekah told me: Just STOP. Live like you are the branch on a vine... not the vine itself, Anna.   That's not what you are. I'm just a branch.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's trying to fill me and give me what I need to thrive. I can't thrive, much less breath   all on my own.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's not me. praise you, Lord.  Precious Lord, YOU are my vine <3  Make my heart the soft, tender heart of a child to rest in YOUR life-giving!
