Can’s blog

an explanation and I need a name

Times like these leave me feeling stale.  Weird word to describe, yes, I agree.  Maybe uninspired would be a better word? But the point is I’m in a mood where I’ll probably waste time writing here, trying to find the most perfect words to get to my point across, trying to make sense of what I want to say with no feeling behind my words, and that, as most of you might know, is NOT me.  So I’ll spill it, as if we were having a phone conversation, with “like”s and “you know”s and all.

I’ve been blogging on MySpace for about 4 years and I’ve really enjoyed my time there.  Now it’s just kind of time to move on and do something new.  MySpace served it’s purpose, and now my focus has turned to Facebook and our own family website.  I asked myself: Why not just start blogging here and see what happens?!

I need a name for my blog though.  I want something with a spiritual connotation but certainly not cheesy or so difficult in meaning that it has to be explained.  So until I can come up with something (I’m thinking middle of the night wake up and jot it down at 3 am kind of thing) I’ll just call my thoughts and writings “Can’s blog” (borrrring!).

My spiritual journey started with a story from the book of Joel. A story of God’s people who were desolate, but because of His compassion God chose to restore His people.  He tells them in the second chapter of Joel:

²⁶ You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
and you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed.

Like God’s people I was desolate. And because my friend Jamie took pity on me I confessed my sin, then God worked wonders for me and I did not feel shame.  And yes I praised the name of the Lord my God. From that moment on I have journeyed high and low, trying to find the best way to live my life for myself, for my marriage and for my children.  I do not have all the answers, sometimes I pretend to try, but I don’t, and yet I won’t stop looking.  My journey won’t end until my Father decides.  Until then, I’m here, writing, rambling, discussing, trying to figures things out.  Participate if you so choose. And if you choose not to, I’ll still like you. Wink!
