First, I just want to say how I am looking so forward to finally having my very own blog. It has taken almost 3 years online for me to take the time to step into my own. It also took a long time to decide on a domain.  Pliable in His Hands is what I have tried to do for as long as I can remember. To stay pliable in His Hands is all I want to do. He is continually wanting to stretch us, mold us, shape us into who He wants us to be. We must remain pliable for His shape to take place.

Hello, I am Noelle.  At home in Orlando, Fl where it’s just way toooooooo hot, (Oh! Update! Living full time in Nashville, and it’s beautiful) you will find an insulated glass of decaf iced Jasmine tea, sweetened with stevia in my hand. Or, at least close by. The stash of dark chocolate that my hubby of over 20 years lovingly keeps flowing is even closer at times. Our marriage brought me immediately  into full time motherhood at the age of 23 to a phenomenal 9 yr old son, Joey Mena. Enjoying every second of the journey, I began my 12th year of homeschooling with our daughter Isis Danae this year. Being ever so present for each new season God brings into my life. Being flexible & flowing, open to any direction He leads.

This Personal Blog, is really just that, personal. Although, yes, I have obviously put it out here for all to see. I will not hold back what I want to say or how I want to express it. You might not agree with me, relate to me, or at times, approve of me.  But I am inviting you in.  Take me as I am, including the way I decide to design my blog.

Note: there will be NO white background on my blog~ despite every rule of design   I do not have any white walls, nor ceilings in my house. I can do with out it here. But, I have been forewarned!

As a teen I journaled every aspect of my life. Becoming a Christian at the age of 14, the journals really became my main communication to God.  I held nothing back when writing to Him in those journals, they were my, ‘pray about everything’. By the time I got married I had well over 15 thick journals full of my life experiences. Even though I was a christian, up until I left the road from singing professionally around the country in 1988 my experiences did not reflect the path I should have been walking. None the less, nothing was left out of the journals. After all, God knew it anyway. Who was I to act like He didn’t?  Not bringing these journals into my marriage in 1989 was a decision I knew I must make. I carried all of them to a dumpster and threw them in, never to look back. And I never have. Unfortunately, every attempt I have made since then to write in a journal has left me with an office full of empty journals. There is a void.

I’m ready to change that. (note: as of April 2012, this has still not changed)

Does that mean I will post my innermost thoughts, prayers, encounters??

Well, no and… yes! I will when it comes to some topics. Keeping it real and every way. But this blog will also be about topics I love. You will get an idea when you see the tags and categories. I am pretty eclectic in every area of my life. So should be a little something you could relate to here.

I hope you will come back and peruse, and be sure to subscribe via feed or email! You can do both through that link.
