A Little Bit about Things.....

Hello – and Welcome to Psalm 139 Designed!  My Name is DJuana Drew and I have the privilege of sharing my thoughts with you.  I don’t take this lightly so thank you for taking the time to check me out.

I have great hopes for how this blog will turn out.  I hope that you will decide to follow my posts and the journey I travel.

A little bit about me…...

I was born in Pine Bluff Arkansas and graduated from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.  After graduating from college I moved to Bartlesville Oklahoma.  I had a great four years there and made some good friends but this was not my final destination.  I moved to Columbus Ohio in 1992 after a layoff cut my time in Bartlesville short.  Ohio has been my home for more than 22 years.

I love to read and work with my hands, so I like to make jewelry, crocheting and cooking (not necessarily in that order).  I also have a heart that loves people and I am interested in what they have to say.  I am a passionate teacher, pastoral counselor and listener by vocation (not necessarily in that order either).

A little bit about the title of this blog……. I am a Christian and have been since the age of 12.  One of my favorite scripture passages is Psalm 139.  In this passage David (the author of this psalm) is speaking about his beginnings.  More importantly he is speaking about (and to) the One who was there at the beginning – God.  He begins this passage speaking to God and acknowledging how well God knows him – better than he knows himself.  My heart resonates with this passage because I take great comfort in being known by God.  I have spent a good part of my life wanting someone to know me – someone, anyone, to get me.  I find comfort in knowing that God knows me better than I know myself.  This fact gives meaning to how and why I am here.

 

A bit more about the blog….I plan to challenge you.  I plan to deal with issues that are relevant to living the life we live today.  We may not agree.  We may agree.  Only time will tell.  In the meantime we will have a great conversation!

This week will be the inaugural week for the blog, so look for daily posts this week only.  After this week concludes, I will see you on a weekly basis.

Let’s spend some time together as I share my thoughts with you…..see you soon…..
