Definition: to outline or to give the precise meaning of something

I'm Rebekah. I moved out to the city of Seattle in late September 2012. I moved up here to work as a RN. What has come out of the move has been so much of learning about myself, what's important to me, and how to enjoy every moment. I wanted to start this blog rounding my first year here, to share what I stumble upon while I walk this road called life. 

You're probably wondering what the meaning of my blog title is... No it's not a place, or guy's name. It's the Hebrew word for "journey, road, way, custom" (of life).  I'm aiming to capture my thoughts, views, emotions, smiles, and ah-ha moments- and to wrestle through words what i'm learning and living. Realizing that it's less about trying, and more about letting. Doing what I can to let Christ in me, be open, lean in to His speaking. And enjoy. Since moving to Seattle I'll be honest I've struggled. I've questioned. I've doubted. And then I've rejoiced. Celebrated. Hoped.

Lastly, derekh embodies what i'm discovering.   Genesis 3:24 speaks of God guarding and keeping the way back to "life", repeated again in John 14:16, we're told that Christ will be with us, to help us on our road.
