Acceptance with Joy

So I really wanted to start a blog and then I finally found a name for it! You may or may not have read the book "Hinds Feet on High Places" If you haven't then I would strongly recommend it. Acceptance with joy is the name of a flower that was planted in a rocky, rugged area in a spot where she shouldn't have been happy at all, but she said merrily instead "behold me Thy handmaiden Acceptance with joy". She was accepting what her maker had chosen for her and not only that but she was accepting it with joy. It was so encouraging to me, I need to learn to accept all that my heavenly Father takes me through with joy!
My purpose for this blog is to just write! In it you'll learn more about me, my struggles, my joys, my heart aches. My desire is to be totally honest in this blog, I'm not going to try to put up a front, I think it's important to be myself, so get ready for the ride!
