I am excited to start a blog. I’ve always thought they were cool to read so I decided to step out of my box and write one. Jessica S. is such an inspiration to me, with her cute Southern accent and willingness to kick my butt when I step out of line. Aside from that, she has a heart that is sold out for God and insight on situations that makes me stand back and look at her. When I read her blog, I think, when I grow up, I want to be like Jessica. Since she is younger than me, I’d never grow up but then again, I don’t plan to anyway. She is the inspiration behind me wanting to write a blog.
Honestly, I have been through so much in my life and instead of keeping it to myself, I should share my experiences so that others may learn from it or grow. Many times, we go through things and when someone shares their life with us, we can give advice to help them not make the same mistakes. The Bible is full of stories that minister to our hearts by simply sharing what that person went through. Now, I am not going to be deep and theological, but I will share my life with anyone who wants to read my blog. Naturally, the names will be changed to protect the innocent or the idiots as it may be.
A while ago one of my coworkers gave me a picture of a guy sitting on the beach by a palm tree with a laptop, which I have taped to my cube wall. The caption says your new corner office. When I get upset, I just look up at that picture and remember I have always wanted to live at the beach. I absolutely love the beach and after the millionth time of me complaining about how I wanted to go, I think my coworker thought a picture would help shut me up. I don’t get in the water or lay out. I simply love to sit there and listen to the waves as they crash. So, when I needed to choose a name for my blog, I thought about how life is a journey and I would love to have that corner office. To me, it represents a moment of absolute serenity where I can marvel at the awesomeness of God. Welcome to the Journey to the Corner Office.
