First Blog

I was encouraged to start a blog, by a friend, because they told me that it is a great outlet and a good way to separate the hard things in life from the blessings and wonderful experiences, if done correctly. I reluctantly agreed. As I started to make my profile, thoughts began to unfold.

I named this blog "If I May Repay the Kindness You Once Showed Me" for a number of reasons. I first took the quote because it is from my all time favorite movie, A Knight's Tale, and there is some significant meaning behind what happens in the movie at this point. Although, once I separated it from the context of the movie, the words began to speak to me in a different way: Direct that sentence towards God. That immediately humbled me. How have I repaid the kindness God showed me on the cross and the kindness he shows me every day? I can answer that simply: I haven't. My goal now is to use this as a tool for encouragement for me, as was my goal in the beginning, but now I would use this to share the wonderful things that happen in my life, start giving glory to God and thanking Him for what he has done.

It is the least I could do.
