Why, hello. I do believe we've met before.
Here I am again, trying to revive my blogging world once again. I never can seem to get it right. I don't want to use my blog as a place to get attention from someone I feel I need. I'd rather not use it to whine. This blog is intended to give ultimate glory and praise to the Lord. My goal is to help others, as well as myself, grow even closer to God.
I have to admit, I don't know what I'm doing. Honestly, I'm a little scared. My last resolve was to never blog again. It was just too much. It wasn't any good in my eyes. I would just find another way. However, for some months now, I have felt like God has been pushing me to get back to it. To put words on the web and share my story; to share my heart; to share Him. I'm no seminary student & I'm not great at conveying The Word. I'm not a ministry major or anything like that. I am only a girl willing and ready to be used by the Lord. The words you see here are words given to me by the Holy Spirit. Sometimes things may not make sense. You may not agree with everything that's said, but that's okay. I just have to be obedient to the call of the Lord.
In all honesty, I feel like so many in the Bible who were called on by the Lord & who responded with small faith. Moses had excuse after excuse. The disciples were with Jesus all the time and yet still had to be told so many times to not be afraid. So often it was apparent how they still did not understand who Jesus really was or His power to save them. Abraham was an older man and still wasn't quite sure God could or would come through to fulfill His promise of a child for Him and Sarah.
..And yet: Moses became & is still known as one of the greatest leaders for the Israelites. The disciples did great things in the name of Christ after His death. Abraham is known as the Father of All Nations and a man with great faith!
If God can do these things through these men, how much more can He do it through me?
"Jesus answered, 'Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith.'" ~ Matthew 8:26
I feel Him saying the same thing to me right now...
Many times I have also identified with the passage in Exodus 3. I find excuse after excuse. But God keeps telling me He's going to be right there; He will give me the words. Yet still I worry about what I'm going to say...What if people think I'm an idiot?! What if this comes to nothing? What if...But...I don't think...Please, God choose someone else. And yet, God keeps knocking at my door. The only way to make it stop is if I answer...
Here goes nothing.
I'm trying this again.
Maybe this time, I'll do it right...
