The first one...

Today I drove across the Kansas border, and I couldn't help but smile.  After 1,000 miles and 14 hours on the road, it felt good to be in familiar territory.  I'm thankful for the opportunities I've been given in Virginia, but there is something about being home that just can't be explained.  With that being said, I also know that the summer holds some amazing experiences for me as well. Hence, my desire to start a blog.  I hope this will be a way to share my thoughts and feelings as I experience new cultures, people, and languages.  

If you are curious about the name, take a look at the lyrics below.  I think it's pretty self explanatory as to why I chose it.  


Walkin' Along the Fenceline by Wade Bowen
I’m not as good as I advertise
But then again, who really is?
Judgment is thrown around so easily
But nobody wants to catch it, they just want to side step it
I think I’ve finally had enough

Walking along the fenceline
Hands in my pockets got a million things on my mind
I’m not sure what I’m trying to find
So I’ll just keep walking
Knowing it’ll come with time
Walking along the fenceline

Faith and time go hand in hand
And I’ve found along the way my faith runs deep
Time is no longer one of my concerns
Think I’ve gone astray, going the wrong way
Why’s it so hard to simply be?

I hope you all enjoy this, and I'll try to keep it updated weekly.
