In the beginning (THE BOOK)

God has been laying on my heart for many years to write a book about IH, my life and most importantly to give encouragement to those that need it. I have balked. I have half-heartedly attempted. Until this year, there wasn't much for me to say. Then, my world has exploded but in a new and exciting way. So much has happened and changes have happened so rapidly that it has been hard to wrap my mind around. I am a writer. I express so much through the written word (and ironically am a terrible speller LOL). I love to write and feel through the words on the page and screen. I have wanted to write a book and thought that my best chance would be through children's literature. So, who would have thought that I would be writing to adults? Not me! LOL Yet, I needed this book 2 years ago. I needed a ray of light, a beam of a rainbow, a smidgen of hope when I thought all was lost. THAT is what God wants from me. Then...silly me...I have been putting it off...kids home for the summer...should I write it in Microsoft Word? Should I do this? Should I do that? Then today I had a moment of my old insecurities. People said "Go blog". Duh! Go back to your roots, Kristina. Then...silly me...I thought...start a brand new one? Nope! I'm going to start with the old one. Every day I'm going to blog this book. I'll post it for people to read. Give hope. Light. Love. It's my purpose now. You can go back and read what I blogged before. Some so dark and tragic. Some will repeat in the book. Some will just be. I have always been a writer. I have journals, stories, poems, songs from when I was a child. God had a plan for me from the moment I was knitted in the womb. I just had to go through so much to find it. It might inspire you. It might scare you. It might do nothing for you. But for me...IT CHANGED ME! So here's to the beginning but is it really the beginning? Kristina
