“Au Revoir”
Ok
I think a change in blogging is stirring. I have written this blog on and off
for nearly 10 years and it started with me just wanting to share with “out
there”, where I thought only those that were meant to read would find it. I
never shared or advertised or even told anyone about it, it was just for me to
vent, express my thoughts and as a result I learned so much about myself as I
produced my deliberations while writing. I called it “Reaching for Freedom”
because that’s what I felt I needed, freedom from fear of all that was
occurring in my life. I realized from the beginning that God would be my
companion on this journey that He would be the answer to every need and He was
and is.
However this journey of mine has begun a new
season, the old has produced the new and I feel as though I need a new blog
start as well. Maybe I’ll pop back and write once in a while as my ex still
tries to shake the apple from the tree and rob my joy but on the whole, that
part of my journey is over and a fresh new beginning of celebration and joy has
begun.
The Lord showed me that I was like a dandelion and
resembling a dandelion I had two parts to my life. The yellow flower of youth
and beauty that grew bold and strong but in time withered and then the part that
was reborn into the fluffy circular seed head of the dandelion, just as
beautiful and with purpose as of the first but in an entirely altered way and
dwelling.
So I’m ruminating on a new name and description,
It will still be my thoughts and feelings, still a place to share, vent, and
grow but about my new season in my life.
I’ve come up with “Defending the Dandelion”
The flower symbolism associated with the dandelion
is: love me, affection returned; desire, sympathy, faithfulness, happiness and wishes
come true. I think that describes me. My defenders are many. God told me to
stop trying to justify myself that he was my defender, my protector, guard,
supporter, advocate, and shield. Another
is Cliff, my husband, who also supports, loves and defends me. Therefore that’s
why I’m naming my new blog “Defending the Dandelion”.
I hope you will follow me and check it out and
enjoy my new home…
