What's In A Name?

Here's to 2014.....  January 1st seemed like the prime time to start a new blog...  I'm sure the idea to do so wasn't original and it isn't my first time at the rodeo, but I'm giving it another shot.  Before, my posts have been about creativity and letting it flow and getting it out.  This time, it's more about being obedient to what I feel like God is wanting me to do.  I keep getting the sense that He wants me to write, so how could I not at least try?

Why Morning Glory?  I'm glad you asked...  :)  My grandmother, who raised me and gave me a beautiful chance at life loved morning glories.  They were her favorite flower and she had some growing on our fence in the backyard that we would always go look at and gush over on the regular.  Her favorite color in this particular flower was blue and I'll never look at a morning glory and not think of her.  She taught me how to see beauty in the ordinary.  She, in fact, was ordinary by the world's standards and indeed, beautiful by mine.   The other reason for Morning Glory is because of God's grace and love for me.  Every morning, His mercies, His glory, His thoughts towards me, His love for me are new and constant.  I am nothing without those things.  Nothing at all.

This blog isn't a New Year's resolution...  If I know me like I think I know me, it won't be as consistent in reality as it already is in my mind...  But, I believe there are things that I've been through and roads I've traveled that should be shared...  People matter and their stories do too.  I didn't always 100% understand that.  Now I know...  People really, really do matter....  and not just some of us...  ALL of us matter to the One who gave us breath.

So take a minute or 5 to read the things that I feel I need to share with willing and listening ears and hearts.  Happy New Year....  Better days are ahead!!!
