Not really original

I am not original. (Who knew, right?) I'm really not. If I was original, then I wouldn't have to have a blog to write down my thoughts. I'd be able to write a book or a song or choreograph some sort of dance to share what I'm thinking. But I'm not original, so what I have is a blog. Lots of people have blogs. Lots of my friends have had blogs and have quit posting on them already. That's how far behind the trend I am.

I got the idea to start this blog from Carolyn Mahaney and her daughters. Who? Carolyn Mahaney. She's original ... she wrote a book. She wrote a book on Biblical womanhood, and she and her daughters have a blog on the subject. I like reading their blog. I've been encouraged and challenged by it. My blog surely won't be nearly as creative as their's because, like I said, I'm not original.

Neither is the title of my blog, "Now and Then." It comes from a Sandra McCracken song. (She's very creative.) The song's actually called Now and Then. (Is that stealing?) One line in particular desribes who I am and where I am. "The fears of a girl and the heart of a woman and everything in between." I'm caught somewhere in the sticky web of having the fears of a girl yet the heart and desires a woman. A woman, who I hope, is learning to love and trust her God.

So, here it is. I'm not sure how many people will read it (if anyone at all) or how long it will last. But it's here for right now, so I hope you enjoy it! :)
