what?

After an amazing long absence from the blogging world, I am back. And I'm back like never before. During the past few months, I've traded my blogging time for some serious hand-written journaling time. One night I sensed that God needed to talk with me - or He wanted me to talk with Him. And so, I turned off the computer and got a pen and paper and begin to unload my heart to Him. And it has been an incredible experience!

Here's my Top 10 List of what I've discovered while journaling:
10. Friends are God's incredible gift to us.
9. I keep many things hidden deep within me.
8. There's a lot of things that I think about myself that are simply not true.
7. God has amazing thoughts about me and I have to learn and believe what that is exactly.
6. I need to live differently based on what I learn and know about God.
5. The days ahead (each and every day in 2007) are going to be brutal.
4. I am going to find JOY in each day, the choices I face and the decisions I make.
3. I no longer have to hide behind my "dancing queen" identity.
2. I am Susan - this crazy mixture of sweet, spice, sassy and surprising.
1. I have begun the journey of honesty in my life.

So, I hope to blog more - no need to keep things secret anymore. I know that I will no longer be keeping my thoughts and emotions buried. So, I will be publishing more often and I want to hear what you have to say and engage in some great discussion.

And, I hope to journal more often too. It was simple, earthy and unearthing. I want to be still and listen to God and open up to Him.

Here's to a year like I haven't had in a very long time - honest and real.

Question: What do you sense God is saying to you?
