Last night at 3am when I couldn't sleep, I needed something to pass the time and so started my own bucket list. I didn't get very far into it before I decided one of the items should be to make a blog and so here I am!
I've named this blog after a favourite song of mine; My Heart Is Overwhelmed by Hillsong. This song means a lot to me personally because the lyrics say everything I feel in my heart. It's a Christian song that focuses on everything our Lord has done for us and all that we have because of Him. I'd love for people to read this blog and realise that society's stereotypes of Christians aren't always right. Yes, I'm a Christian, but that doesn't mean I'm some bible bashing nutcase!
I'm still not 100% sure what the purpose of this blog is and what it will become in time but hopefully it will be somewhere I can be honest with myself and others. I don't really mind whether people read it or not, but if they do I just hope they can relate to what I say in some way.
So here it is.. the honest blog of your average teenage girl during a turning point in life, not knowing exactly where she's heading but laying her trust in God.
