The Handley family had such a great weekend staying in cabins, hiking the waterfalls, and swimming in Mentone, Alabama. Home-cooked meals, movies, and games made for a fun time of just being together.
I am taking an Intern Leadership Development course at the church I am working at this summer. For the class I am reading The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard. One of the disciplines Willard advised in his book is celebration. We should celebrate what God has given us and enjoy what we do. I experienced great celebration yesterday as I hiked though God's beautiful creation and swam under a magnificent waterfall.

Introduction
I have always enjoyed writing stories. If you asked me at any point between middle school and now if I had a story I was working on in my mind, I would say yes. The characters were from my imagination in times and places I had only dreamed about or perhaps seen on a field trip (i.e. Colonial Williamsburg). Lately, I have had the urge to begin writing again. But instead of using my imagination for fictional stories I have decided to use my own life. I will share some of what I experience in my day to day life with the world (or whoever actually reads this).
The title of my blog is the cry of my heart to God. Wherever he leads me I will follow. On August 21 I plan to begin my final semester of college at North Greenville University. I plan to pursue a future in children's ministry in a church. I have no idea what this looks like or where I will go as God has required me to be willing to go anywhere in North America. I thought this blog would be a good way to record this journey and to share it with whoever is interested. The address mbdisciple.blogspot.com is a reminder of who I am and my place and calling in this world. I am a disciple (a follower) of Jesus Christ.
I am aware that I have begun similar blogs before with only a few entries. With this blog however I plan to keep it going to see what God has in store for my present and future. So without further ado let us begin....
