2006 was easily the toughest year of my life. I felt like I had lost the chance at having anywhere to call "home" all over again. I moved 4 times. I fell flat on my face. I lost my faith. I was hurt by "the church" and those around me, and then, I was brought to my knees...again. I was introduced to the thought that maybe...just maybe...Christ wants my attention through the moving, the crap, the pain, the apathy...He wants me to get to know Him the way that He knows me; Unconditionally. He wants me to WANT Him, to understand the WANT He has always had for me. He taught me to run with Him, to say my vows, to put one foot in front of the other, and to LEARN to know Him. To completely forget having it all together. The journey has just begun, and His blessings are amazing. I think, in 2006, I fell in love with a REAL Christ, in a REAL way, for the first REAL time. Then...He brought me to Bend. Thank God for 2006. :)
This is Katie, from BackPorch, by the way. I like your choices of music, Mat Kearney is my current and new passionate favorite. :) I figured I'd answer a blog question, so there it is! A summary of 2006! Felt good to recognize it. It was nice to meet you, let's Rock Out soon! Let's love God with our music together. Catch you on the flip side -
