Introduction

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I'm glad you've decided to visit my blog (I think...). I have to say, I'm a little bit nervous about throwing my life out for the whole world to read about. In a lot of ways, I feel completely unworthy to even try to write a blog like this... I mean, I'm not a preacher; I've never written a book; I'm not a great speaker; I don't know my Bible as well as I should, and I don't have any amazing insights into the Bible. More often than not, I screw up and fail when I'm tempted, and goodness knows that I'm a far cry from being anything like Jesus. So what on earth makes me think that what I have to say might make a difference in someone else's life? What makes me think that I can say anything to inspire you?

Well, for one thing, I love to talk. Anyone who's ever gotten an email from me, or gotten me started talking about horses knows that I am really good at talking. And, for another thing, I kind of feel like God is asking me to share my story. Now my story isn't one of those "attention-grabbing-on-the-edge-of-your-seat-on-the-brink-of-death-from-drugs-to-Jesus" stories, but for me, it's just as good.

I guess I feel that if God gives us the gift of a story with Him, then it's meant to be shared. Now please don't go putting me up on a pedestal and thinking I've got it all together, because I most certainly do not! I am just a regular girl who is trying to find her way to a path in life that is led by Christ.

So, now that I've rambled enough just through my introduction, I will close this post with the prayer that something in my story may reach your heart and that God can use my story to make a difference in your life.
