Annnnd Begin

Dear You (Whoever you are),  

The theme of my life lately has been 'learning to trust the faithfulness of God.'  He's been teaching me that everywhere I go, whatever I'm doing, in every joy, surprise, and discomfort HE has placed me there on purpose.  Just as Esther was purposefully put in Xerxes palace "for such a time as this" (a time to be used to deliver her people from genocide), HE carefully places us.  {Hence - the title of my blog.}  HE's helping me to believe that even when i don't understand or necessarily appreciate the time in which HE's placed me. 

In this particular time of my life, it happens to be time to blog :-)  I've been cheered and challenged by things that other's have written and thereby am inspired to blog myself.  ...Please don't take that to mean that I believe myself to be a profound author/philosopher with all of life's answers, cause that would be the complete opposite of what I mean.  My prayer is that if you're encouraged or challenged, touched by laughter or tears that it is because you are able to know that you are not alone in your journey with HIM through this sharing of ...blogging stuff... If you choose, this can be two way sharing (in other words:  I'd love to hear your stories, via comments etc), but one way is fine too.  It's up to you.  So, the plan is to share life:  journal some, share poems/songs/etc, tell silly stories and life's happenings.  You can take it or leave it.    

Yours Affectionately,
Callie
