a little bit about me

Hello! My name is Laura Hall, and I have started and stopped this blog writing process more times than I care to admit in the last 3 years. Writing is something that I always wish I did more of, and is a way to work through my thoughts and experiences. That's all this is- an outlet. A way to process through my challenges, triumphs, ponderings, and overall outlook on life. My hope is that this project can touch even just one person in order to make them feel like they're not alone.

The main idea for the name of this blog came from a sermon our pastor gave about "Making Everyday a Masterpiece." The idea behind this quote he shared, is that you can take hold of your life, and design what it is going to look like, or you can float through life and have all of your decisions made by default. I believe that as followers of Christ, we should take the gift of free will, and seize every day in order to live life the way God intended us to live it. Sidenote: this is SO HARD for me! This is a challenge that I am striving to grow in, especially over the next year.

Full disclosure: this is not going to be a "how to" blog. If you're looking for how to strengthen your faith, marriage, friendships, etc, I would love to point you to some of my favorite places! However, that is not the main purpose of this particular blog. I have next to nothing figured out, I'm just a girl with a phone.

Thanks for stopping by!
