Blogging Baby

That would be me. Never blogged before and have only read a few. But God spoke to me (or so I hope it was Him and not just my ego) and told me to try a blog. 
How do I know it was God? Honestly, I don't. It's one of the things about Him that drives me crazy! Life here on Earth would be so much simpler if He simply used an email or even some snail mail to tell me what exactly He'd like me to do. Heck, even a falling star or a bird song would do. But, nope, as I've learned in life, that's not how God communicates with me.
Sometimes it's an inkling, sometimes it's a nagging, sometimes, honestly, it's just a hope that He's leading me. Today, it's an "inkling." A feeling that maybe this is a good way to honor Him and all He's done in my little, insignificant life.
So, this is where I begin. I hope to continue to honor God and God alone in my blogs, but I'm pretty sure I won't always be spot on. I tend to go my own way a lot. Luckily, He's forgiving and patient and also, correcting. I tend to believe He'll show me if I start to head down the wrong path. In other words, I trust Him. Trust Him completely and that's what makes this somewhat scary journey OK with me.
So if you'd like, follow me along on this journey. Let's see where and how often we can discover God. I think we all may be surprised at the places He'll show up at. And I can't think of a better surprise. For where there is God, there is Joy.

  2. AMEN! I am in complete agreement. Yes, sometimes I stay late at night, pondering the day and just YEARN for the Lord to speak to me. But I believe He likes to let us decide if we listen to his whispers on not...but HE is amazing I thank GOD for Jonah, Balaam, David, and many others who strayed yet GOD never lets go! ♥ Amen!

    Hosanna in the Highest!!!
    For His Love and Glory,
    ♥ Linda M

    1. In total agreement with you. God speaks in so many ways, it's usually just up to us to make sure we listen. And when we don't feel we hear "directly" from Him, just knowing His word and having a one-on-one relationship with Him helps us to make the right decisions.
      And best of all, when we don't (like your examples above), He still loves us and never lets go. How incredibly lucky are we to have Him?

  3. You said it well Linda! Moses murdered a man, David committed adultery and murder, Solomon fell prey to sexual addiction, Paul persecuted Christians - the list goes on but God never let go and He continues today to use normal, sinful people for extraordinary purposes.

    PRAISE the Lord!!!
