Lets Take A Journey: Together.

Hello there new and awesome people!

My name is Haley Dorsey, I am sixteen years old, and I have realized that Life is a hard road, its quite an adventure. So why not share it with the people of the world?

I decided to start blogging because I always felt that God wanted me to write, inspire, and encourage the people of this world with my life, my failures and accomplishments, my testimony, my ability to love and write, and most importantly: My faith with God and the walk that you may or may not be traveling with me.

I started to get interested in blogging when my lovely mentor, Jacqueline Zdrojowy, introduced it to me. She wrote about her life, our youth group, her kids, and whatever else that awesome women wanted to blog about. I never knew about blogging, but I definitely know that God truly opened that door for me to just share this Journey with all of you. It is quite amazing how our God has everything worked out to every little detail!

So yes, I am very interested and excited to see where God will take this little blog and make it into something big, because our God never fails!

Creating the Right Name:

 Earlier this afternoon, I was sitting and talking to my dear friend Teresa Dubyoski. We were just talking about life and how we just wish that the people in our life encouraged each other a lot more. (Which was really weird since God planted that desire in my heart to encourage with a blog or something. God had it all together!!) I then had the sudden urge to do something about it, instead of just talk about how it could happen. So, Teresa helped me set up this blog spot... but then we got stuck. It really caught me off guard... "What am I going to name this blog?" Yeah a little petty or as our youth group would say "Great first world problem." But, honestly? If God is calling me to do something big with this blog, wouldn't I want even the title to mean something? Yes.
So Teresa and I sat for at least fifteen minutes dumb founded about what to say, and then the next twenty minutes were spent on looking at other blogs, trying to find ideas!
Then all of a sudden, Teresa comes out with "How about A Journey of Faith?" ....I sat there and was so taken back by how powerful and fantastic that name was, I literally got chills. I then knew "A Journey of Faith" was the name of this blog and the name of this encouragement and faith-walk to all of you.

My life is honestly a Journey and if I didn't have faith... I wouldn't even have begun a journey. So I ask all of you to have a open heart, a sound mind, and a kind spirit to the things on this blog that I know God will effect and show Himself through me, to this blog, and through this blog, to you. Allow Him.


I thank all of you for accompanying me in this new experience and allowing a sixteen year old girl to partner with you in this Journey of Faith: Together.

                                                                                                            With love,
                                                                                                                      Haley Dorsey
