Today I finally decided to begin blogging. I figure it's the best way to let people far and near into my life and can help spark some discussion. As far as this particular blog goes, I wanted to explain some things that I have been learning over the past year.
1.God may move you literally across the nation, several times over the course of 5 years. LOL! During each move there has been a challenge for me to either re-connect with people I have returned to, and/or to keep in touch with those that I love so dearly, that live so far away. Recently this seems to be getting easier, as I am realizing some other details in my life... (but we'll stick to the main few for now.)
2.When I make time to truely give in to what God has for me...there is no question that I will be attacked!! Is anyone else with me?! Don't lie! It's true and I hate it!...At the same time, I can see where some of these situations I chose to obey and have been able to bring God glory.
3.Speaking of glory- I have been continually learning that God glorifies Himself in a way that we as humans would not have thought of. When we think of glorifying ourselves, we think of boasting or simply being prideful; But God is not this way whatsoever. God glorifies Himself in loving me. WHOA! (just writing that made me sit back and think)... Why in the world would someone that I have slapped in the face several times want to consistently pursue a loving, compassionate and intimate relationship with me?! It makes Him happy to be my savior...How cool is that?!
4. This brings me to my next point: I have come to the realization that because Jesus, who is God incarnate, came to this earth over 2,000 years ago with a sole mission to bring me unto Himself, then I can make the effort to move forward for Him. So many times the way that Satan attacks us as Christians, is playing the "you're too guilty to..." card. To be honest, yes...I am. And???? Let me be more clear. If I wasn't guilty, then I wouldn't need Jesus- And because I have Jesus, and He gave His life for me, then I will do what He says with my life out of love for Him.
5. Pain seems to hurt worse each time it is added to. I think you all know what this one feels like.
So, those are a few things for now. I know it's all pretty deep, and kind of all over the place, but this is some of what God has been showing me lately. Please feel free to leave your comments. I'd love to read them!
