the introduction

i started journaling in january of 2008. caroline inspired me to do so. i had previously kept a journal when i was younger but stopped writing at the age of 15 because my parents found and read my diary and i felt it was a huge invasion of my privacy and what once felt safe and something that only belonged to me was exposed. so i quit. but like i said, caroline inspired me to journal again, especially about what God was doing in my life and things i was learning.

i dont know what prompted this blog but i thought why not do it. so heres how it goes. i have a total of three or four journals now that are partially or fully completed. every so often, hopefully every week or maybe even more frequently i'll post an entry from my journal. it could be current or it could be old. really just whatever i'm feeling. im inviting you to a 'behing the scenes' look into my life i suppose. kinda scary. i've always been pretty open with my friends and people in general about my life, myself and my feelings but thats dwindled a bit over the past couple of years. and its been nice to keep alot of things in the security of my journals. but like i said, i dont know why i'm even really doing this.. just feel compelled to. so i am. maybe you'll read something and be like "hey i've been there too" or maybe you'll say "wow, i never knew aliciana thought this or that" or you'll just think i'm weird ha. but whatever it is you think, i just hope you read and maybe learn something new about me or life or love or God or anything really.

as for the title of this blog. well its currently "let there be morning" . it's a title of a song by the pershers. again - no real reason. i just like the way it sounds. it could change. but maybe its something like this. if its a good day i'm hoping that tomorrow morning comes and its another day filled with the joys of life. if it's not such a great day and im feeling overwhelmed, i'm hoping i wake up and theres morning to start a new day and hope for something better. yeah. thats it. so rain or shine, happy or sad.. i just hope that there will be light, and that there will be morning.

peace and love.
