Words and a Journey

I have this subtle passion/obsession with words. 
It's not the kind where I find obscure words and use them to impress people. 
It is this passion that burns when words come together to mean something beautiful. 
When words combine to express truth. 
The board that I most commonly pin to is my "Wise Words."

When this passion burns I feel a deep desire to create;
to structure words together to move someone. 
It makes me regret all the chances I passed up to become a better writer. 
How many English teachers did I have going through public school??

Over the past couple of months I have had a deeper desire to create. I want to create something wonderful. All over the internet, pretty much everywhere, I see all kinds of talented women creating the most beautiful things, from artsy crafts, to beautiful homes, to beautiful babies! I just have a desire to create something beautiful! 

This has all led me to this deep reflection. 
I have been mulling over it for quite a while now.
What are my talents?
What can I contribute to the world, to make it a more beautiful place?

I don't know yet.

At first, when I started thinking about these things, I felt impatient and kind of discouraged. 
Gradually, I have come to the realization that for me personally, I don't know what it is that I can contribute to the world. 
It has motivated me to be more proactive in finding my talents and seeking for the gifts that God has blessed me with. 

So. The moral of the story is that I am on a journey.
A journey to find my passions, talents, and gifts. 
And words is one of my passions. 

A Little Dose of Gratitude

Today I am grateful for my family.

These people make me extremely happy. 

I am richly blessed.
