About Lucy and 817Proverbs

My name is Lucy Moorer. I am a 24 year old Christian woman with lots of love to share in this world. I am single, no children, I am employed as a Photographer/Account rep with a major studio in Germantown, Tn. I attend Life Fellowship Church in Olive Branch, Ms. and am a faithful worker in the nursery and starting in the youth ministry. My goal in this life is to show outwardly the love that God has for myself and you. God has shown me through so many ups and downs that He is still my rock. I mess up all of the time...yes. But He is always faithful to forgive and pick me up. I wanted to start this blog going into the new year of 2014 for several reasons. One being that I feel that in this world, it is important to show Gods love in any way possible. Media has become a major way of connecting with people and I think that if used for the good it can be a blessing. Second, God has taught me over the past 2 years that I have to love and chase after Him. When I seek Him, my biggest blessings I find. This has not always been a easy thing for me and to be honest... it still isn't. I am still well on my walk to know exactly who God is and what roles I am to play in the world as a follower of Christ. Thirdly, God has given me compassion for so many things. I have a heart that hurts for others who are in troubled times. I have a heart that seeks the best in the bad situations. I truly believe that God wants me to use my compassion to show others what love looks like. So many things in this world are evil...but we still have love. We just have to use it. Throughout this blog you will learn my story (all 24 young years of it so far). Through my stories I hope that you too, as I have gone back and seen, will see how God works in such mysterious ways to make good. Another reason I am writing is that this is the year for commitment for me. This is so huge in my life. For many years I have tried to start-finish something, even as simple as a blog in the past... and after a little while I have lost the desire and compassion to continue. Even things such as weight loss. I have started...never finished. Committing to prayer and bible reading... hard thing for me as well. But through this I pray that God will teach me to be committed completely to Him and even through the small things like writing a blog entry to brighten someone elses day. I chose the verse Proverbs 8:17 because of its simple yet direct message on love. "I love those who love me... those who seek me will surely find me"- I want to continually seek God and His presence. Won't you join me?
