Welp, here goes my first post...

:) Hi!
My name: Beverly 
I'm a twenty something year old girl who loves the Lord because I believe He loved me first. I have  been attempting to make a blog for about a while now. Never did I think I'd do something like this in my life, but I do have people who actually blog to thank! It was encouraging to see how people who are bloggers really encouraged me to do it! Mainly though, I thank one of my best friends from college, Danielle Turner (who did not have that last name when I met her! SO strange yet awesome to type it out!) for introducing me to blog world! She has an amazing blog you can visit here. She is an awesome person for sure, so I'd say after this, you go and check out her story! :) She's a writer too so you have nothing to lose! :)
I still have yet to figure out the whole layouts and things on how to design this blog of mine, so there is no "about me" section or anything that can tell you of who I am. It'll come though...it'll come. On that note, I would like to mention a few things about this blog I am starting up!
Slowly, as life has gone by for me, I have discovered that sharing a thought, a quote, an opinion, a life lesson is not something that SHOULD be kept to yourself ALL the time...ESPECIALLY when it comes to something that has eternal value (like the Gospel). Sometimes I have been left with so much information and amazing resources that I know could benefit others, I just have found myself keeping it all in! Things that I only leave in my journal...for no one else to see (maybe when I die? :P)! And it's not because it's private...it's just....because. With this blog I have decided to change that! If you ask anyone who knows me or of me, they'd start off by saying that I possess the quality of being quiet. This quality has got me through many good things in life, but I also know that there have been numerous times when I could/should have said something, and I never did. So I've written. Still do. And I love it! My whole point of telling you this is because I know that at least when I write on here, there will be someone out there like you :), who will read this. My intentions are to be real on this blog and let you know what my thoughts are on certain things, lessons I've learned from my past and present, fun things too of course, but I would also love to hear your thoughts and opinions. I am completely open to hearing what you have to say! :)
This got a bit long, so to wrap it up I would just like to thank you for stopping by and reading my very first blog post...means alot to me already! If there are any tips or ideas to blogging that you know of or that you have learned through this whole experience, please do share! :) I'd love to hear it! Have a great rest of the day!
