Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Em and I work as a cook in rural Minnesota where I live with my hubby. I hope you'll enjoy this assortment of random things I like and mini-adventures I'm living.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." -Jesus (John 10:10)

This desktop is much cleaner than it has been in a while. The documents that were clogging my hard drive are cleared away, too. The extra bits I wanted to save are tucked away in CDs and in a drawer, probably underneath a stack of colored paper and old journals. Something about the unclogging of my PC gives me that new-notebook feeling, the one where the cover is still glossy and each separate sheet of lined paper is neat and unbent and waiting for words.

There's a palpable sense of anticipation hovering in the air.

So in response I put together a new folder on my desktop: "Life & to the Full." Right now, it has a set of lyrics, one recording, and a whole list of projects and ideas I want to spout about.

Here's to tackling them bit by bit, relishing the variety and the challenge and all the randomness that make life relish-worthy. And here's to exercising the perspective that God's plan has been and always is to bring us life in Him, and to the full. This is the heart behind sending His Son. It's the heart behind all that He asks and does. So I'm hoping He'll be pleased with every bit of these scraps of blogging and that He'll continue to show me what He has in mind when He says "Life" and "to the full."

Here we go!!
