Vision for 2014

{While trying to nap while feeling sick myself,
this is where the Lord led me with vision for this blog}

I was in kindergarten when I first heard the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?". At five I would tell you I wanted to be a doctor. 

I was corrected too many times to count with, "Do you mean nurse, because you are a girl". Nope, I meant doctor. That's what I wanted. I thought anything was possible for girls too. And I still do.

I wanted to be a leader in healing, to make people whole again. And while I never pursued that career idea past first grade (not much for science & math), today I still want to heal. I want to bring you soup when you're sick. I want to let you know you're not alone when your world is falling apart. I want to help hold your heart together when it's so heavy you feel you might sink. I want to speak words of comfort. I want to stir up hope and healing where you have been defeated, life where you have experienced loss. 

This is part of what I aim to do with my blog Redeeming Her. Lord willing, I will share stories of what God does in redeeming lives, whether from His word, from my life and hopefully sharing your stories too. 

I want this to be a safe place to be broken, in progress, and healed again. Where we find beauty for ashes, joy replacing mourning, praise instead of despair. This life of full of sorrows & joy and joy is for the taking.

I invite you to join this hopeful journey. Get connected with Redeeming Her with Bloglovin' and Twitter.

In faith, Rachel
