Today’s prayer prompt was my 500th blog post … how fortuitous that it also sums up much of what I’ve gone through in life since I began blogging back in ’08. I started writing for a class project in grad school, then I kept writing posts as a form of journaling — basically talking to the wall, since I had no readers — but it was cathartic, nonetheless.

Here we are now, three years later, and what a journey it has been. It hasn’t always been pleasant, but it has certainly been a growth process. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!
