I'm Back

Here I am back at this blogging thing. I am trying to make some changes and make it look a little better than it used to. Now that things are winding down with school I should be able to find more time to write and share some thoughts. So tonight I had something on my heart to share however after editing the blog it's getting late and I should get some rest. So I will just tell about the change of title and will give you my other post for tomorrow.

Loving Well. That's something that as a woman in this world God has given me the desire to do. I recently read the book Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge with a group of women from the church that I have been attending here in NYC. Toward the end of the book Stasi writes about relationships and this is what she says:

"No one can be to the people in your life who you can be to them. No one can offer what you can offer. There are many things God calls us to do, but loving well always comes first. The relationships with the people in your life must be fought for."

This section of the book really resonated with me in that I have been miles away from some of the people that I love most this year and Loving Well is something that must be fought for. I realize that no matter how close you are to people in proximity loving well can be difficult. So in light of reading this book and having a desire to LOVE WELL I am going to write here about my journey to loving well. I am also hoping that through this process I am able to recognize the first part of this quote and how important it is to the heart of a woman. That we are irreplaceable to the people that love us...WOW!!!

So my prayer is that I be able to Love Well in all situations and to love with a love that only God can give.

Loving well,

Paula
