Shelby Nicholson

The By part, is short for Shelby. Ren? Short for Renee, my actual and authentic given middle name. Jo? Just the name my grandad and everyone in my family has called me since I was old enough to understand language. (so at like 3 days old, of course.) I'm writing this blog, honestly, to become a better writer, to openly and effectively narrate my life experiences. We all have Truth. Truth as we have experienced it, and if you're around me long enough, you'll hear me say- "You'll never be free even if you can honestly review and look back at your truth. But you can be free when your truth finds narrative in God's truth." We Christians have a belief about God, that he communicated his truth about himself, his world, his experiences through the eyes of ordinary, common folk. Christians believe, now, that these people were carried along and inspired by His Holy Spirit. I qualify to be amid their ranks. Ordinary and Common. But a heart for people, generosity, and things that spark my curiosity. I have a thirst for life, and feeling full- and i mean soul-full.Not the "I need to nap and unbutton my pants on Thanksgiving Day kind of full." No, I mean the I've ran my last mile, I can't gasp another breath of Oxygen in my lungs full, the I'm about to pee myself from laughing so hard full. I find myself in a relationship with Jesus Christ, sent from the Father to reconcile us to him. This is my honest account and reflection of my experiences POST raised on a small farm, Southern girl, POST private Christian University experience, and CURRENTLY working in Sales at a Steel Corporation west of the Great Misisip.
