who am I......why is this blog even here?

Hi there.  I'm Corrine.  I am being stretched & obedient.  Well, that sums up who I am and why this is here on a simple scale.  On a larger scale, let me explain.

I am entering a whole new season in my life.  A new season where God is asking me to step out in faith in a way I really didn't want to.  Just being honest.  I’m opening up myself, my thoughts, my desires and putting it all on "paper" in black-n-white.  Sharing things I've learned, am learning, struggling with and need help on.  I'm a work in progress.  I think that's where I should be, continually being open and flexible.

A friend, who has known me probably for 25 years now, challenged me to share who I am, what I’ve learned and what God has taught me.  She said I have a story to tell and it should be shared with others.  She challenged me to blog.  After a lot of prayer and confirmation, here I am.  

There are so many good things going on in my life that I could write a book.  It would take a lifetime to tell you how God has loved me.  Someday, I just might do that.  I’m starting up a monthly women’s Bible study.  A year from now, I’m going to be a speaker at a women’s conference along with nine others.  So excited to share all of that with you in the future.  God has big plans.  I’m part of those plans.  So many awesome women are being willing to obey God. 

What you won’t find on here.  I don’t have all the answers.  I won’t spell everything correctly.  My grammar won’t always be right.  If the “value” of those things mattered to me, well I wouldn’t be doing any of this.  Like Moses had excuses, I’ve had excuses for a long time for NOT doing some things and withholding maybe some great life experiences I could have had.  I propose no longer to NOT do something because of what other people think. 

What you will find here.  One of the greatest compliments in my life I have ever received was that I was transparent.  What you see is what you get.  I’m great at being me.  I don’t pretend.  What is popular, I might not care to do.  What I’m convicted about by GOD and GOD alone, is what really matters.  He is my desire.  I am learning to be an expression of Him.  That is my highest goal in life.  Enjoy the journey with me.
