The Daily

I almost forgot I had a blog. Almost.

Between the pile of homework and adventures that college dished out and the lemons and lemonade of life, sat this itty-bitty blog. Waiting, begging to be updated. "Well honestly, there are so many blogs out there, who really cares what I post? Nobody comes here anyway," said the college girl despite the visitors' counter that said otherwise.

And maybe no one will.  But maybe I should take up writing again.

 

It's been nagging at my heart for a while that maybe someone needs to hear the stories of homework that stacked high to the ceiling. Maybe they wanted to read adventures of coffee, laughter in the hallways, awkward friendships that began and ended, and glimpses of adulthood that college dishes out. Maybe they needed to hear about all the lemons and lemonade that came pouring down when I least expected it. Maybe they just need to know that they're not the only one Life sweeps off into the daily sunset.

Maybe someone needs to know the daily struggles of a young Catholic.

Because really, how often do you get a story from a young, Catholic blogger who's apparently been around since 2006? Who used to spend her spare time discerning a religious vocation, left Honolulu for Ohio to find herself, discerned out by the grace of God, found her dearest friend and companion, finished her degree at Franciscan University, got married young, and is now attempting to figure out life as a wife in DC? I'd be intrigued.

So here's the stuff that drives me crazy. And this is how God's Truth, Goodness, and Beauty redeems it each time.
