Tonight begins a journey that I really have no idea if I will finish. I feel compelled but mystified. I feel completely lacking in anything to offer, but completely equipped with what I have been given. God has blessed my life with both heartache and joy and lessons intertwined in every experience. His Word has never been more alive to me. His presence never more poignantly felt. His voice in my life never more clear. And it feels like He is showing me things that I need to share. At this point I don’t know if that is simply on my blog, in daily conversations, or in a book. Maybe all of those things. But today felt like the day to begin with one baby step of faith to see if these happenings and learnings and experiences might one day become something for someone to read. To be encouraged by. To feel understood in. To see simple, real life word pictures and stories that might illustrate God’s amazing truths.
And so today, my first paragraph. With available fingers and open ears to what God might say and where He might lead…please pray with and for me in this…my precious reader….
(p.s. as soon as I published this, I found a response from a friend that accidentally landed in my spam comments – and she was sending me a website to send some writing to….isn’t that crazy???? so I just sent them an email…step one…)
