Embracing the new life

For years I have struggled with socialising. Just not good at it. Introvert at heart I am. But somehow since I started following Christian websites and blogs over three years ago I find myself slowly opening up. I'm not tech savvy so I can't do anything fancy with  this blog.  But I suppose I will come on from time to time and write something which might make sense or at least be interesting. So far I have just been musing; not trying to write anything really. Maybe I'll post my sometimes sermons here with a little editing for length to provide something somebody might want to read. Maybe.

It's been ages since I wrote on here. Guess I have a love hate relationship with exposure. I read other people's blogs every day and wonder how on earth they can divulge so much. Guess it was my rearing; best seen and not heard.
Found out about an hour ago that one of the bloggers I follow has gone into hospice care. She had AS and was so bold and brave. I am mostly healthy and not so bold or brave. Tears fell for a near total stranger. Unless following her blog made us friends. I felt as though I knew her and was sharing her life.
A lot has changed around here though, even though I am still inching along. And still many things remain the same. God's love is still palpable. I asked the lover of my soul to create a new heart in me almost two years ago. I am beginning to think that it really has happened. Can't say that it is a finished product, but there's lots of new stuff going on with it. For sure I am guarding it too.
Some days I am so grateful that He knows my name that I can't stand myself. I am learning to number my days.
