And So It Begins...

In the Education program at my University we are required to take an educational technology class. While it is very long and quite boring, I have already used many of the skills we have learned together. In class, we created hypothetical classroom websites and blogs. Lame right? Wrong. It's super fun, and it reminded me of the many avenues the internet has given us to express ourselves. 

Kind of like my pile of journals

And so here I am. 

I have always been a journalist. At the house I grew up in, stuffed under my bed, are a dozen old journals and several pink diaries with sparkles and locks. In elementary school my writing consisted mostly of drawings, songs I created, and a list of the boys I liked in order of happening. I journaled every night in middle school. Forgetting my everyday joys scared me. I wrote down everything. In High School I slowed my roll a little bit, focusing more on journaling sermon notes and especially eventful days. I still keep a journal now. Personal entries, sermon notes, drawings, class notes, and random stickers I get on campus, everything goes in there. My journals have become a home for my quirky and eclectic combination of interests. 

That is my vision for this space. I want it to be a place to share everything that is me. I want to share the things I learn, the things I create, and the things I experience. There was a time in my life I was afraid to be authentically me. Through Christ I am experiencing freedom from fear! I am inviting you to walk in that freedom with me. 

Welcome to the path. I hope you're as happy here as I am. 

Sincerely, 

The One and Onliest Bek
