"And He will fill your heart with laughter, your lips with shouts of joy!"- Job 8:21

Well, y'all, I'm a blogger it looks like! Gettin' crazy because this is really unlike me. I used to label myself as one of those cynics who thought blogs were only for 1. cute moms who were always crafty and fun with their growing children or 2. people who love hanging their dirty laundry online, creating a "diary" as if nobody is reading it. I tried Twitter (not for the first time) back in the spring and felt silly. Who could possibly care if I'm en route to Birmingham, Alabama to visit friends and hang with The Avett Brothers and The David Mayfield Parade? Or that I'd accidentally told the lady behind the check-out counter at Walgreens "bless you" after she belched embarrassingly? I felt so narcissistic. There ARE blogs I read, so I'm not knocking those who do tweet/write, but I just didn't want the point of life to scream "Everyone watch me on here!" That's what I felt like I was doing.

Sooooo, you're thinking, "Okay, Jill, what are you doing on here then?" Well, I'll go ahead and say that it's for a grade. BUT also, I hope that readers of this new blog will find joy in their day after reading it. God created joy for us and no matter our circumstances, it is ALWAYS His will to find joy in Him and in daily community. I'll be telling funny stories, posting things I'm passionate about, and other... um... surprises and crazy ideas that pop in my little head. So enjoy and check back often!
