Welcome to my blog, my name is Kimberly Michel. I have had a nudge at my heart for far over a year now to create a platform and place where I can write, share and be the salt + light.
Last year, I actually started putting my desire into action. When thinking of a name for my platform I wanted to create, I read through my journal that I have been jotting down things in. One day, I wrote down a piece of my daily devotion called "The Invitation" that stuck out to me. It was titled Rediscover Your Rhythm. One of my more recent goals has been to discover the best version of me. I actually ended up having this entire blog created at the end of August of 2022, which was just one year after the anniversary of Hurricane Ida, but I never pressed publish. After major loss and heartbreak through Hurricane Ida, I found myself searching for a way to relearn how to live life again. Most importantly, my family and I needed to find the rhythm to our new life once we relocated our family from South Louisiana to Tennessee in 2022. Rediscovering Rhythm felt so fitting for the season of life I was in then and I knew it would be fitting for seasons to come because our beat and rhythm in life can always change.
Like music, our life has its own beat, and we often create our life songs with our rhythm. Our choices and how we respond to things that happen to us makes all the difference on the flow of our rhythm. I personally love when my life relates to a great song with a great beat and a rhythm flowing like a well-oiled machine working, but we all know life has times that we are in valleys and not always on a mountain top jammin' to a great beat. Sometimes we seek out change and sometimes change finds us.
Sometimes we may not like the beat of our life, but we always have an opportunity to rediscover our rhythm however we see fit to create a life we love and enjoy. It's a lot like how God gives us grace and sometimes gives us a new course. I like to think of the seasons of life that change finds us to really be a season God is drying something up so we can move on to our next adventure to create another song...
"God can put me on a new course. Although things may not be what they once were, I believe the future holds something better." -The Invitation
Psalms 30:11-12 says,
"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever."
In all that I have been through, God has always been my constant. He has been my living hope and has given me joy to dance again. He gives me peace in each season I find myself needing to rediscover in.
With creating this blog, I want to use it as my vessel to share my journey of rediscovering my rhythm in each season of my life along with discovering the best version of myself, sharing my interests, sharing life adventures, promoting products/things I love and know you need in your life too, sharing the good and the not so good of our life (because our life is not perfect) and I will share all of the in between too!
I hope you stick around so we can Rediscover Rhythm together!
XOXO, Kim
