This writing is rather personal and I'll admit at times uncomfortable to think that many of you are reading what is in my heart. Sometimes it seems a little unnecessary. Granted I put it out here for all of you to see....but still. awkward.
For those of you who are wondering why I'm writing (and I am included in that group), I came across these words in Psalm 40...they sum up my purpose perfectly...
"I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as You know, O LORD. I have not hidden Your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness from the great congregation."
Psalm 40:9&10
That is why.
You are the "great congregation" and as odd as it may seem at times, this silly blog is my megaphone - my way of declaring the glad news of deliverance in my own life. How can God be glorified if I am not willing to be honest with what He is doing? And who will know of His deliverance, if I don't tell of it? I'll be the first to admit that it isn't always a pretty picture, but I believe my brokenness is beautiful to Him.
I blog because I have experienced the steadfast love and faithfulness of the Lord in such amazing ways I want to tell you about it. I want you to read and say, "God is faithful! God is good! God is love!" I want to some how sort through the messiness of my own life and see God's glory shining through it all. And while reading you may see a great deal of my own heart (however ugly, messy, or pathetic that may be) above all I desire that at the end you find Jesus there. I hope that somewhere in these words, He is there, whispering some sort of truth to you.
This blog isn't about me....it is about Him...
