I'm Blogging!

Hi everyone, I'm Blogging! Over the last couple of years I have been encouraged by others to start a blog. I have written devotionals for our women's church blog but not my own. So, I have spent time in prayer and research before venturing in. There are all kinds of good blogs out there. Some are about personal adventures, daily lives, spiritual convictions, and opinions. I certainly don't rely on my own opinion so, this blog will be based on The Word of God - the Bible. "All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16). While I will be sharing my own experiences, I will rest on the truths of scripture. My prayer is that this brings God glory. On my mirror in my bedroom I have two verses of scripture posted to remind me everyday life is not about me.

"Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:5

 "...we always pray for you that our God will consider you worthy of His calling, and will, by His power, fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

When I wrote the verses, I made them in first person. For example: " Make my attitude..." I encourage you to pray before reading my blogs for the Holy Spirit to speak to you. The main theme of this blog is about letting go of your own control and trusting God's will is the best. This is a daily struggle of mine. In the last four years or so, God has been refining my heart in this area. My prayer is that you will be encouraged by what God has taught me in the process of letting go. My goal is to blog once a week for now. I hope to remain faithful to this new adventure in blogging.

God Bless,
