Just the beginning...

So, here I am entering the blogging world and I am a bit nervous...possibly because I'm not sure if anyone will even be interested in reading about my thoughts...

However, it's a great outlet for me personally and even if no one reads it I'm still gonna do it...for me, myself and I and of course for my Saviour.

Let me quickly explain my 'header', just in case one doesn't get it right away. 'A' stands for Arika and well 'musings' stands for just that. And just cuz I consider myself to be kind of amusing (some may say silly) I thought it was kind of fun that it could also say 'amusing S', which also works because my last name starts with 'S'. Anyway, as someone famous once said, "He [or she] who is able to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused." So thankfully, I will always be amused!

The other thing I liked about my blog name is the meaning of the word musings, "a product of contemplation: an elegant tapestry of quotations, musings, aphorisms and autobiographical reflections." I mostly liked it for the "elegant tapestry" part, because I hope and believe that that is what the Lord is making of my life. I hope that when he's done with me people will be able to see the amazing/elegant work he's done with this tapestry-me.
