This is something new for me, something that I have considered doing for a while now, but it has taken some thinking before doing.  Writing is something that has tugged at my heart since I was a young child (6 years old).  However, there are many reasons why I have made few attempts to follow through.  I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I grew up with the understanding that children were to be seen and not heard–which is a belief that stifles the quiet and weakest voices.

I’m beginning to discover that God loves weak things because he can be heard through them.  I’ve also realized that in my 60+ years, I have not learned how to be loved.  It was always a matter of something to be earned not something given “just because”.  However, God is love and what He does is love – which makes love quite unavoidable as I am pursuing Him.  His love is pure, it is natural, and it is “just because” He loves me, not because I love Him.

So this blog is going to be a journey to know Him and my expressions of faith and hope in His love.  I cannot help but share some of my concerns about the things going on in the world, and some things may not have a “scriptural” basis – they are just opinions. I can guarantee that much of what I write will have to do with reading the Bible and what the Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart. I am excited about this new leg of the journey!
