Here we go!

     Hi y’all! My name is Bekah and I am not quite sure what I'm doing but here we are haha. Let me explain a little bit about myself and why I feel the need to share. I am a twenty-one year old trying to figure out her life like every other young adult. Honestly that is enough to write a blog about. But that’s not where my real trials and tribulations start. You see, on top of that I am also dealing with an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, and a dash of OCD (what would that be?...a quadruple whammy??). Now that we got the deep stuff addressed, let's get to the fun stuff! (you will soon realize that emotions gross me out). 

On a lighter note I am the second of four siblings. I am/was a student at the University of Mississippi, more lovingly referred to as Ole Miss. I say “am/was” because it is a little confusing at the moment which I will get into later on. My one true love in life is oversized sweatshirts (“do you have this in a XL?”). I have been told I am brutally honest. My go to emotion is “fine”.  I am obsessed with any type of trial/mystery movies (bonus points if they were made in the late 90s! They just don’t make them like they used to). My current favorite movies have got to be “Erin Brocavich” or “A Few Good Men”!!!  If you have not watched either one of these STOP!! Do not pass go! Go immediately to watch these two movies!!... Any who back to me (hehe). I don’t have a favorite color because then I start to feel bad about the other colors so I stay neutral. I detest the smell of burning leaves. I have recently started to enjoy the act of reading.  I love all things puzzles (which is kind of ironic considering I am struggling most with the ultimate puzzle - life). And most importantly I am a real strong lover of Jesus! 

A little bit about what the “blog” will be and what to expect to see is really just going to be stories of my life, specifically revolving around my college experience, the ups and downs of my journey with an eating disorder, and my relationship with the Lord. My hope is that someone in my same situation will read my story and will relate, feel seen, experience the hope and joy of living a life for Jesus, or at least get a laugh at some of it (#laughthroughthepain). 

A few disclaimers before we start. I am in no way a professional writer nor have I claimed to be. And I have hated grammar my whole life so if there is a missing punctuation or an excess amount of exclamation marks just ignore and move on please and thanks. I tend to be technically challenged, even though I was born in the generation of all things technology so we will see how far I make it with this totally tech-relied “blog”. And the last thing is that I am certainly not an expert at life (which you will see) and I have no idea what I am doing. 

So if I haven't scared you off by now then I hope you enjoy reading some of the stories that shaped me into who I am today while hopefully watching me turn into the person God made me to be. Come with me as I struggle hard and fall harder. And watch the Lord pick me up time and time again! 

Well here we go!!
