I know that so far, I am my only follower, but I have to start posting sometime. This is the blog of Courtney Jane Sones. I am 20 and a student at a community college by my house. I work at a fabulous restaurant with fabulous people. I am also the oldest of five amazing kids. My mom and dad are responsible in many ways for keeping me alive...both literally and figuratively...they are my lifeline and an example to me everyday of how Father loves me. I am a Christian (if you want to give a title). But everyday I find out that it is so much less about a title and a religion than a relationship. He has called all of us out of darkness into His marvelous light that we might KNOW Him...and the power of His resurrection.
I titled my blog "Unquenchable Wonder" because of words that two of my best friends gave me. A few months ago, when I was having a very hard time believing in anything, Abigail Suiter told me that He was naming me "unquenchable." Honestly, to this day I don't really feel like that's me...but He does keep calling me up higher and higher, closer and closer to Him. So really, He's the unquenchable one who does not give me the option to respond with anything but unquenchable fire. Another friend told me that the Lord sees me as a woman of wonders. She said that I am able to see Him in the small things and rejoice accordingly. This I can see. I find the most peace when I'm sitting watching a sunset. My heart leaps when the cherry trees begin to bloom and even on the most stormy days in my spirit, if the stars come out at night, I find peace. It's a strange thing to me. So many others are able to just pass by these marks of the Creator without even a second glance. I don't know what happened to me, but almost suddenly in March this last year I started to literally get (annoyingly) excited. I just can't help it...His creation stirs worship in me. It is His song and it is His face looking at me and singing to me every day.
So I can't say that every post will be about a sunset or the fall colors...but I hope that this aspect of who I am is imparted with every post.
I'm not a writer, but more and more I feel that I have something to say and it just can't be said on facebook or in 140 words on twitter...so pardon my lack of eloquence...hopefully this will help :)
Please comment too:) and have a great couple days
