So… I’ve decided to officially start “blogging”, I was planning to start this on my Myspace account, but for various reasons, decided against it. You guys should feel honored :o), hopefully the “life” of my mind will be interesting.
The title of this blog describes me in a nutshell. I have never considered myself ordinary by any means, in fact I’ve often thought of myself as weird (if you know me you won’t disagree). You see, I feel as if I don’t think like many other people, I often feel as if I’m looking at the world from someone else’s eyes, hard to explain. The basis for this view is largely due to the fact that (quite recently) I’ve fallen in love. Oh yes it’s very true, and for me, hard to believe since that has never happened to me before. Yes, I have loved and love many, but this is different. The fact is, I’ve had this all along and never realized that it was mine, not just to experience, but to live. I feel like I’ve always been wise beyond my years (although I'm sure a few would say otherwise). I have experienced a lot, not only in relationships, but just by living. I can honestly say that, real living has just started for me and it’s a direct result of this love. You may be wondering Who this Mystery is……..well He happens to be my Jesus. :o) As many of you know I gave my life to Christ around age 10. That was a very serious profession of my faith, but unfortunately I never took Him seriously……..until now. I don’t know how or even when, but He came and moved in my life about a year and a half ago, and I’ve never been the same. This change, for me, was significant, up to that point I was working in a place and participating in things and with people that were bringing me down, way down. He was speaking to me-very clearly about some things in my life, and was literally removing people from my close circle of friends, He was also letting me know that my sweet boyfriend of 2 years had to go. The thing with God (that is a routine challenge for me) is that you have to OBEY Him when He asks you to do something, and this boyfriend thing was really HARD, but I did it. I cannot begin to describe the instant PEACE I felt afterward, it was tough for the following year, but God was healing me all along. I started a new job, and honestly, christians seemed to "flock" to me! I also started getting more involved in my (awesome) church and God has been working through me ever since, I am open to wherever He leads :o) Gracious! I feel odd writing all this, but oh well. I guess I just wanted my first entry to be about my “new” found Love and the constant and transforming growth I am just starting to experience. I love Jesus with my entire heart and soul, He is my first love and always will be, He daily leaves me speechless.
My favorite scripture verse changes quite often, this was it for awhile:
“It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ, … He had His eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone.” ~Ephesians 1:11
My current favorite:
“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
~Proverbs 19:21

Hi, Rachel!! I’ve come to know your blog from the Blogger Help Group. So, you can say such forum like this is one of the best ways to share your blog with others. Other effective way that I’ve learned in my early days of blogging is to visit other blogs. Of course, the one that interest you and leave some comments and if other people leave a comment in your blog, do respond to keep the conversation going and build a connection.
You have an interesting blog – writing and pics, but try to type in paragraph so that the readers can follow you. Maybe do something with your blog header…something like your identity that describes your blog’s title.
Anyways, good luck and keep writing!! ;-)
