In the Beginning...

So. This is a blog? Okay. Cool.

For real, though, I thought maybe I should explain myself a little bit.

Fast Facts:

I’m nineteen.

I go to Grace College.

I’m a journalism major [for now].

I love Jesus.

Kinda boring, right? Right. But see, that’s the thing. I won’t be writing any of these posts for someone who may or may not read them. I’m writing it for me. My brain is a mess of half-finished thoughts, and they just need to go somewhere. I firmly believe that everyone has a story to tell, and they should get to tell it. Not for the people who want to hear it. But for themselves. So this “blog” is for my story. My woes, my wonders. My happiness, my sorrow. Maybe you’ll come along for the ride; maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll see something that resonates with you; maybe you’ll see something you don’t like. At the very least, I hope it makes you think. Even if that thought is, “What is wrong with this girl?”

If you have insight to offer, I hope you’ll tell me.

If you want to discuss something further, then by all means, let’s do coffee. On me. Okay?

Glad that’s taken care of.

Now, maybe you’re wondering about the title? (Maybe you’re not—in which case, skip this paragraph.) This is where I’m putting a plug in for a song. 

[[ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7k_6nt6eUM ]] We used to sing this song during worship at church, and I am still in love with it. I am running daily into marvelous light, not because I want to run from darkness, but because I want to run to Jesus. [[hence the URL: notrunningfrom.blogspot.com]]

So this is the journey. And all I know is that it is filled with light, and sin and death have lost their power. Come adventure in the light with me.
