About
ten years ago, I started my first blog. Although it was short-lived, in my
heart, I knew I wanted to have an online space to share my thoughts and
feelings on topics that interest me. Over the years the blog idea resurfaced,
and I played around with different topical themes, but nothing seemed to stick.
As
I was reflecting on my upcoming birthday, I begin to think about how I wanted
to celebrate this year. I've never been one big on birthday celebrations for
myself. I truly enjoy fun days at home with my family, a pretty cake and
delicious food. This year, however, in addition to my quiet birthday
festivities, and I want to do something that will truly have a positive impact
on others.
After
some serious thought and prayer, I've been led to finally start the blog that's
been brewing in my heart for more than a decade. Our Balm from Gilead will
be a place where women can feel encouraged and empowered to seek God despite
their busy schedules, endless to-do lists, and pure exhaustion. I am creating
this space to a place of hope, peace, and joy. A place where restoration,
healing, and salvation is found.
I
pray this place will meet women in their brokenness, confusion, and despair.
That with each post, someone is uplifted and finds hope to make it through
another day. That joy would abound, faith will be restored, and God's peace
that surpasses all understanding will overwhelm hearts longing for such.
Join
me as I embark on this journey and invite others to do the same.
With
Grace & Peace,
Cierra
