Well, here is my first post ever. I am technologically slow, so bear with me as I try to figure out how to use this whole blogging thing. I have a super long weekend ahead of me so hopefully I will find the time to write about something wonderful and important.
I suppose I could start with why I chose the name "the art of being" for my blog. It often seems like I am being pulled in so many directions in life. I am graduating in a few months and I find myself excited about the future and clinging to my past at the same time. Sometimes it is just so hard to be where you are and be who you are. Right now I am a student. Not a graduate, not an intern, just a senior. My life right now is to be exactly who I am and to enjoy the relationships that are present in my life right now..not to long for new ones or worry that present friends will become past friends. Simply Being...that is all I am supposed to do. Yet, it is often so hard to do.
"Wherever you are, be all there." --Elizabeth Elliot
I absolutely love this quote that a friend of mine recently shared with me. God has placed each of us in the places where we are right now..on purpose. There are people we are to meet, to enjoy, to laugh with and to cry with, to live life with. Each day is a blessing in itself and we should enjoy the gifts that accompany it.
Needless to say, this is why I titled my blog what I did. Here is where I will contemplate where I am at this stage of life and just share with you, this very bored person reading my blog, what the Lord is teaching me and showing me.
