Ok, so I'm jumping into this blogging thing. But where do I start? I know it doesn't have to be perfect....but that's really HARD for me! I just have to remember why I'm doing this and where I got the name from. You may know the old hymn "Just a Closer Walk With Thee." I know that I need to work on my walk with Jesus and I figured that as much as I sit at this crazy old machine it'd be pretty logical to use a blog to record some of my thoughts about my relationships, especially with the Master of the Universe. I know that some people may read this and get offended. If you do I'm sorry, but that' the thing about these blogs. They're MY thoughts and MY opinions. Just because you read this doesn't mean you have to agree with it. :-) So now I'm rambling..........
*If you're part of my youth group and are reading this, here's a quick question for you. How have you been living out your trust in God this week? Remember the questions from our game Sunday night? Hmm.....yeah, me too. Let's work on this one together. Especially the verse from Ephesians about everything that comes out of our mouth should be to build each other up. YIKES! That's tough, even for me.
*My hubby thinks this is crazy, letting anyone and everyone read my thoughts online. But maybe I'll touch somebody somewhere in a good way. That's me the eternal optimist. I see the good that could come from a situation and he looks at it all too practically (and rightly so a lot of times)! I love you honey!
*Finally I think I'll use this blog as a general record of me. A place where people can get to know the real me because I tend to clam up around them. I don't want to "bother" anyone so I'm always reluctant to talk about me or what's going on with me too much. Instead I let them do the talking.......so if I get carried away, forgive me! :-)
That's enough for a first post I think. If I keep going I'll have begun the next "great American novel" and that is not my intent at all. Good night, Lord and here's to a closer walk with you.

He Michelle! This is Sylvia, and I think your blog is cool. I started reading Ephesians tonight, and I plan to finish by Saturday. I've been working a bit on the trust thing, and it's kinda hard, but I'll keep trying. I thought about the game a couple times this week and I think it may have changed how I approach some things. Well, got to go, going to Bible Study:)
