Born With a Story and a Smile

"Her mouth speaks from that which fills her heart." Luke 6:45 (paraphrased) 

     Hi!  My name is Bonnie and I smile too much.
     Well, I guess my friends would say I do not smile nearly enough.. as I talk! I love story-telling.  I believe life is a journey, trials have a purpose, and joy is a choice.  My Father is the King of Kings and my Creator.  I have fallen in love with the man who gave His life for me and is preparing a place for me with Him in Heaven.  I do not belong here, but I am here to serve others and live the life of Christ.  I worship The Lord through the stage, and bring Him praise with my lips.
     But enough of me!  What about you?  This is for you, after all! (Well, technically it began as a school assignment...) Now, although we may not agree on everything, I hope you like chocolate and tea. Books are great, too. (Fair warning, I'm a bibliophile and may speak of them quite frequently...and possibly fangirl..a lottle-bit)   This blog will be a delicious concoction of my life, much like a cupcake... Or a latte.  (Or a Chai tea latte cupcake... Recipe anyone??)  But please do not expect this blog to be perfect or void of conflict.  I am flawed and need grace... All the time.  Joy is not always the easiest choice and I never make it on my own strength. 

"But he said to me, “My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.”

So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me."  

2 Corinthians 12:9
