I am...

I've done it. I've finally plucked up the courage and created a blog.

But how does one actually start blogging?

It feels a little rude to launch straight in to sharing my thoughts and views. But on the other hand, why tell you what I am going to write about when I could just get on and write about it?

So I am going to start by introducing myself... how terribly British of me.

Ok, let's not beat about the bush...

I am, first and foremost, a follower of Jesus Christ. This is central to my life, who I am is found in Him.

I am an artist - something I haven't been heard to say much in my life but I am starting to realise it really is written in my DNA and no matter how much I try to shrug it off and avoid it, that is what I am. My mediums of choice are drama (and specifically theatre) and poetry. I am trying to expand my horizons. I don't want to settle for the way things have been and are done, I want to push limits, break out of boxes and experiment. I have something to say and I want what I create to reflect that message. I refuse to sell out to commercialism.

I am a daughter - of the Living God and also to my lovely pops, George.

I am a sister - to my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ and to my brother Gordon.

For now, I am a children's worker at my church, doing maternity cover until summer.

So perhaps that paints a picture of what you will find in this blog, or perhaps it just paints a picture of who I am. Either way post one is done... now to get on with the real stuff...
