a good place to start

i have wanted to begin this blog for quite some time now....afraid to officially start. i have always enjoyed writing to release whatever may dwell within. whether it be heartache, love, sadness, anger, desire....whatever may be heavy on me at the time. to write in a private journal is one thing, to expose myself to others....well, that's another story.
what are my intentions with this blog? i am longing. longing to be free of so much that dwells within me. freedom from it all....from my thoughts that keep me in bondage. some of it has lingered for many years and some things are a little more fresh than others....none the less....it's all deep within and longs to find it's way out. i pray that in some way, God would use this to show me more of who He is and who i am in Him. please, Lord....be my strength in all things....and bring sweet freedom.
i long to see growth in myself. to feel like i am actually improving on what was yesterday. to feel that i am perhaps pleasing my Saviour with my life and the words he puts at my fingertips or the tip of my tongue.
i fear critisism. i fear of making a fool of myself and wishing i could take back words that i can't. i am human, and i suppose that will probably happen. so, i ask for your encouragement, words of wisdom and advice that i might become more than i am today.
i have been a blog reader for quite a while now....i will now do my best at sharing my own story, thought, idea...whatever it might be that i choose to share.
here's to "all that dwells within me"!
