about 8 years ago or so, in the midst of me trying to find my way through the toughest part of my journey so far, I started blogging...some days I just couldn't help it and wrote not only one post a day, but sometimes up to three.. it helped me process and bring order into my chaos..
God was faithful and used my writing not only to bless me, but many others ( or so they said anyways)
then, over the last few years, my passion to write somehow slowed down a bit, to be honest I felt I was repeating myself...
God was narrowing it down for me... He has been pointing me to two things, again and again and again...
His Sovereignty and our JOY....
for many years I didn't read anything but my Bible... not wanting to hear what God was saying to others as much as I wanted to hear and study and find out what He was saying to me... through His Word and His Spirit in me...
in the last few years I have been reading more books again .... not by too many different authors, but by one particular one... John Piper to be exact...
... I have started to write down things, little notes on my phone with things the Lord continues to show me, so that in my aging mind I wouldn't forget when I would feel the need to write it down sometime..
in the very last little while I have been thinking and praying and wondering, do I have something to say?
is there value in what I am learning and understanding - not just for me, because let me tell you, there is HUGE value in it for me -
is there value for others in what God continues to show me?
I am sharing this as I am living life where the Lord has planted me, and God has been bringing and continues to bring people into my life, as friends, counselees and ladies in my Bible study groups..they all tell me that what I share blesses them..
now lately though, as I am thinking and praying and wondering, a thought has been coming back to me... is what I have to say worth putting together for something bigger than just a blog post, is this something God wants me to do???
So, the point of today's post is simply this : tell me what you are thinking...
if you are a friend who has been on this journey all along I want to hear from you.
if you are someone who just happens to read this post, maybe go back and read a few older post... there are thousands of them on here ;) I want to hear from you...
I am not in this for fame, far from it... I am also far to much of a realist to even consider that would happen... but is there value in me even entertaining the thought...
I am asking God, and as I am asking I am writing this... pretty sure He wants me to get some feed back from you....
so let me tell you one thing :
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has a plan... it is a very well thought through and detailed plan, in His purposeful sovereignty and loving goodness, His has all of it planned out... so if this is part of His plan it will happen.... and if not, I am more than happy to put the thought to rest..
the freedom that comes from having seen Him orchestrating every little moment, the good ones and the bad ones, is phenomenal... it's a joy to submit to it...
it really is!
God bless you all!!!!!
