A Simple Gift

I don’t really know where to start. Most of the time the answer is that you must start at the beginning, but I don’t think that is the case in this instance. Honestly I don’t think I am ready to start at the beginning just yet.

Ha; actually not being ready yet has been a catch phrase of mine for the past few weeks.

I have been praying for a while, that God would give me an area where I can be creative; do something I find fulfilling. I have also been struggling with letting God love me and I need a time for reflection on all the things He has given me. I feel like God has put this here for me as an outlet for both. A way to document the little things I notice and his wooing that I tend to over look. This blog in and of itself is a gift to me and answered pray of sorts.

So that is why I felt that I needed to confess that I have already taken this gift he has given me and placed a not so humble expectation on it. (It is quite a ridiculous and far fetching sinful expectation)

You see; I secretly hope that this blog would be an inspiration to others (not just others but millions) and create some mind blowing life change in all who read it. And not only that but I wish it would spread like wild fire and become some new profound way to reach others like Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz. Hahahaha, oh how I can take simple God given gifts and set myself up for giant heart breaks by twisting their original purpose.

Post number one and I already need to repent. I do pray that this endeavor is blessed and that with each post I can document a little bit more of how my love story with the Lord unfolds. But moreover I pray that I may find fulfillment and joy form this even if I am the only soul that ever reads it.
