Hope’s Blog

I’ve spent about an hour or so this morning reading through an old blog of mine. The posts are enlightening and encouraging. They’re also frustrating me. I feel like back then I was so free to write, and thus wrote freely. I wasn’t encumbered by money or duty. I just loved to write and wrote from my heart. I want that back.

Of course, my life back then was a lot different from how it is now. But is it too late? Have I wasted too much time? Has God taken my talent and given it to someone else? These are the questions going through my mind right now.

Life has a funny way of leading you where it wants you to go, whether you realize it or not. I look back at my life several years ago and can see how I had direction and purpose then, and didn’t even realize it. Today I’m floundering, wandering from one thing to another, feeling like I’ve lost my purpose and direction.

So I decided to restart my personal blog, in an effort to find me again. Who am I? What do I want? Where am I going? What am I doing?
