(the required info): hello, my name is carolyn mejia. i am a recoverin—

…oh, wait – NO! wrong speech! let me start over…

well, the name part was right. hi, i’m carolyn. i’m a wife, mom, friend and most of all, a follower of Christ. i spend my days as owner & graphic designer at Port City Design in wilmington, nc .

[yawn - - wah... w-wah, w-wah, w-wah].

ok, that’s just what i do.

if you are still awake…

(the good stuff): what gives me purpose and a reason to write…

• my God – He leaves me speechless… what can i say. oh, how He love us;
• my boyz – ernie (my love and my reason to smile) and cam (my mirror and my reason to become better)
• seeing people who have been hurt by church figure out how to be loved by God;
• seeing artists discover the divine purpose for their gifts and giving them back to God;
• finding out what great things God created me for;
• helping others find out what great things God created them for;
• seeing the church become what God intended for it to be
• art – all of it… music, dance, writing, theater, multi-media, photography… all of it;
• technology – it is my very good friend
• sunshine… it’s my favorite and where my happy place is found.

(the disclaimer): the foolish notions, raw thoughts and musings contained here-in are solely my own. they have not been proofed or approved by any of my colleagues at the rock. occasionally I find I disagree with myself… but being wrong is a all part of growing up and essential to the whole creative process – so I refuse to delete. you have been knowledgefied.

(the foolish name): the name of my blog, foolishnotions, came from a poem I wrote several years ago based on 1 corinthians 1:27 – “but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;”

my foolish notion

my heart overflows with passion and revelation…yet, it’s illumination remains concealed, failing to fulfill the commission of influence;

my mind craves knowledge and feverishly pursues understanding…yet, it is fundamentally deficient of wisdom and discretion;

my will is, by all evidence, unyielding and tenacious…yet, at it’s core, it is unbearably feeble;

My spirit serves joyfully and tirelessly without concern for recognition…yet, my ego silently and veraciously hungers for admiration and promotion;

this is my foolish notion: the source of my strength is built upon the substance of my weaknesses. my Father inexplicably and incessantly loves me. in trusting without uncertainty that He designed me perfectly and completely for His pleasure – i am not a mere recipient of His mercy, but His expression, of His glory, for His purpose. i will forever be humbled and honored to be a foolish and weak thing redeemed for His passion.

(the thank you): really. thanks for coming by. please, take a moment to tell me about yourself in whatever comment section appeals to you around here. and if you find yourself passing through often, become one of my fellow fools who subscribe to foolishnotions. you can get it in your email too…
