strange but wonderful

I can't believe it has been so long since I've posted. When I began this blog I thought to myself, "Everybody says they create a blog and then never post...I'm going to be different." HA, ya right...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am finding myself in an odd place. This is the first time in about a month that I have not had any hw due the next day, an event, or plans (on a weeknight). The strange part is that I don't know what to do with myself! 
I love it! I don't think I have ever craved a couch so much! :)

Yesterday things were quite different. Yesterday and the past few days everything seemed to be swirling around me and sucking me in to mini tornadoes. I was reminded that unless I keep my eyes on Jesus I will become consumed with what needs to be done, who needs to be seen, where I need to be...
Although I have to remind myself it is vital that my eyes remain fixed on Him.

Is anything really more important than Him?

Captivate

According to Dictionary.com "captivate" means: to attract and hold the attention or interest of, as by beauty or excellence"

There are a couple of reasons I chose to call my blog "captivated".
First, I am consistently captivated by the one who created me and how he continually loves me unconditionally. 
Second, my name, Rebecca, means "captivating."
Third, I hope that this blog will capture your attention and bring refreshment to you. I also hope you become captivated by your creator if you aren't already.

Here Goes Something

It's about time I guess. I'm not one that is anti-technology, but I am skeptical before jumping in. So now I am officially a blogger :)

I am an avid journaler and so I figured that it is about time to share my thoughts with the world (not that I'm expecting anyone to follow me). I can easily write when my eyes are the only ones that will ever read it...but this is a little different. Now whoever has the opportunity to get a glimpse into my soul...this will be a fun challenge. 

So here goes something...to something that will hopefully help me process my thoughts and to not be afraid of sharing them with those out there...

Here goes nothing...i don't think so, this is going to be something great!
