what's in a blog name?

When I started this blog it was originally under the name Daughter of the King, and for a long time that blog title suited me well, because I was still finding out who I was in Christ as His daughter. Now, more than three years later, I felt the need to free my wings a bit more. I know who I am in Christ now - more than ever before. 

"But how did you find the perfect NEW blog name," you might very well ask? 

 

Well . . . I had the privilege of attending She Speaks in the Summer of 2011. Before I even went to S.S. though I found myself struggling with feelings of utter restlessness; and I definitely didn't believe in myself as a writer. I found myself having to write a devotional article to be critiqued at She Speaks (which really made me have a panic attack!) by a group of my conference-sister peers, which I entitled Just Relax Restless Bird. Little did I know then that the very article I had written out of such strong fear would be the key to giving me my wings. The piece I was so frightened of writing actually helped me realize my dream. I want to become a writer . . .  and so I find myself on a new journey. A journet that has been leading me towards finding my peace, and accepting myself as a restless one. And slowly, over much time, I have found that being restless isn't such a bad thing after all, as long as you're completely restless for knowing God more.

I am the restless, peace-seeking, more-than writer.

i strive to . . .

inspire. encourage. share my restless bird heart.
