The namesake

Why the blog name?

In my sophomore year of college I bought a yellow dress. I bought the dress because yellow is one of my favorite colors to wear and I loved the frilly neckline. To get my bang for the buck and mainly because I felt like a million bucks in it I wore the dress to 2 weddings, 2 date parties, and to church in that spring/ summer season. After that year I felt could've created a picture book entitled tales of the girl in the yellow dress since it was sort of like my signature, but I started a blog instead.

I realize that when blogs first came out I rolled my eyes at them, mainly because I pictured them to be something like zenga diaries for hyper emotional people or they might be something where web enthusiasts share the latest cheat codes for dragons and dungeons, and then something happened. I read a blog. I don’t know who’s blog I read first but I remember seeing that Courtney Mcrea wrote a blog and then Mary Grace started a blog, just for a class, but she let me read it after reading hers and then finding other author’s blogs I started to see how wonderful they were.                     

Eye roll retracted.

I am not profound, or a writer, or even the best communicator. I am however a daughter of the Living God who is the lover of my soul. I am also a college student not necessarily trying to figure it out but just seeking what He has for me. I don’t blog a lot but sometimes I do and it’s purely because I sometimes just need to put words to my thoughts and experiences and send them out there.
