This is me on the internet. We’ll see how it goes. This is me adjusting to life in the smallest city I’ve ever lived in. I hope this blog will be a bit of fun in chronicling my path as an aspiring writer and novelist, as well as a city girl’s move to a place where I regularly see cows and horses, where corn is a delicacy, and where people listen to country music. At church this morning I saw a man wearing a bolo tie and cowboy boots. I have officially moved to another world and it’ll take some getting used to. Especially that fertilizer smell.
This is my home town.
This is where I live now. I’ve never lived so far from the ocean.
I’ve called my blog “realizinggrace” for two reasons.
I was born to Canadian parents in Hong Kong and so was given a Chinese name early on to go with my English name. My parents decided to choose a name connected to the meaning of my English name, which means grace. My Chinese name literally translates to realizing grace.
More importantly though, realizing grace is something I want to strive for in my life. I want to learn more every day about the grace and character of God. I want to recognize His grace in my life. Although living where I do now wouldn’t have been my first choice, I believe that God has a plan and His grace will prevail. In this blog I hope to document my journey to learning more about that grace.
Thanks for tagging along!
