Spending It All

Where to begin...

Well, I have to say that I was pretty hesitant at first to set up a blog, for thoughts like: "what do I have to say that anyone would want to read? What if they don't like what I write about?" I am a very honest person, at least I try to be, and the thought of blogging for the "whole world" to see is very vulnerable to me. This was my inner conversation, along with thoughts like: "I don't think I have time for another thing, this all seems overwhelming to me." But, now that its done, I'm actually excited!

I decided to do a blog after being encouraged by some friends of mine (Jonan & Ash, you know who you are ;o)) I don't consider myself to be anything great, least of all a writter. But, I do have a great desire to share my life with others and if in doing that I can be an encouragement to someone than I will be very pleased.

Why, this name? I would have to say that this is the motto I try to live my life after. I want to spend everything I have in every moment I have - my life, my love, my energy! I long to live completely sold out with out fear or inhibition and to see others do the same!

A life verse of mine is Philippians 3:12-14

^"12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. ¹³Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

So, here's to the beginning of Spending It All.
