I'm feeling led to start yet another blog. Another you might ask?? Yes, this is the 3rd. I do love to write you know. The first blog AdventuresofIzandEl was geared only towards my children. The name of your blog should, I feel, have a lot to do with what you are writing about. It is however a title. Well as I continued writing on AdventuresofIzandEl it started becoming more about my life, our life at home, etc. So I started anew on AmyLou. After writing on AmyLou for a while God placed it on my heart to start Abiyah. I wanted a place I could retreat to. A place I could journal about my spiritual life and my walk with Christ. I also wanted a place to keep track of all my creative doings.

We declared at the beginning of the year, this was a year for change. God has moved in our lives in so many ways in the last 3-4 years. Since I am leaving my job and leaving my future up to Him, it's going to be a time of learning to trust and lean. So this will be a place for me to journal as I find my place as an artist and how that connects to the One that owns my heart and soul...

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive and inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Colossians 3:23-24
