Why two?

I already use xanga as an outlet. But sometimes I get tired of feeling like everything that I write is being monitored by local eyes. I don't know how often I will use this site but I do think that I will use this as a more private place.

I titled this blog "Learning to trust..." because it best describes my life right now. Sometimes it is so overwhelming trusting my own intuition of God's voice. But that is where I am right now: moving into the part of life where I stop pretending to be making my own decisions...and beginning to trust God to help me actually think and depend upon what Rachel Michelle Leonard needs to do. I don't know everything. Actually, I know very little. But what I do know is that the only way for me to truly step into God's will for my life is to let go of others' expectations and to do what I think is best...after prayer, of course. If I make poor decisions then it is my own fault...and I am better because of it.

So, if you will, this is my page of independence. My grown-up page. This is where I will write of the places to which I dream of going...geographically, spiritually and relationally...learning to trust...God and myself.
