- I've never been a writer. I was a music major in college, I spent a lot of time practicing, not writing.I make sense in my head, but not necessarily on paper. I will most likely compose most of my blogs while running and then attempt to recreate them in a post upon return.
I have a dog, Hawkeye. He's adorable and I'm practically obsessed with him. There will be lots of pictures of him, lots of stories about him and even a blog or two through his eyes. And I don't even feel bad about that! I got him from a rescue shelter in August, 2010. I think he is a yorkshire terrier and most likely came from a puppy mill. He didn't really know how to be a dog and we've made great progress over the past year. He does very well as a Toto to my Dorothy. :)- I also love the Iowa Hawkeyes. I'm an Iowa girl, through and through. I am very excited about the mountains and all that Colorado has to offer. However, I will never forsake my love for the Hawks. :)
- I don't have a "blogging voice" yet. I'd love to be like Joy the Baker, but I'm not. I'm Johanna. This blog will be an exploration in that and hopefully I'll eventually settle in a style. But until then, well, good luck. :)
- I think in list style. You may have noticed this already.
The name of my blog comes from a song. I will leave you with the lyrics:
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
Our Lord said that all would be well
All manner of things would be well.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
With all the sadness wrought in this world,
The good shall always prevail.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
In all the doubts that shroud simple truths,
We pray for the wisdom of God.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
Give us the faith to trust in your love
When things are concealed from our view.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
Our faith is firm and stands on the Word,
The Word that endures for all time.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.
And so we pray to trust in the hope
That all manner of things shall be well.
All will be well, and all will be well, all manner of things will be well.

I love the title of your blog because I love that song! I hope your trip went well and that you are settling in. Will see you soon!

Hi Johanna,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog while searching for the lyrics to "All Will Be Well." I'm going to use it for the Lenten Maundy Thursday service at my church in New York. I enjoyed reading your blog. It's great that you resumed posting after 3 months. I enjoyed reading about your fasting and the peach canning factory. May you be blessed in your year with Dwell.
Check out my website passionplayers.org. We do a show about Corrie ten Boom. I think you would like her.

Hey Johanna, I, too, ran across your blog searching for "All will be well" lyrics. Didn't expect to find them on a blog of someone I had met at Crooked Creek. It's fun to get a glimpse of your Denver adventure.
