New year.... New Commitment
Hey everyone,
It has been too long. I reread my last post on this blog today and it made me feel sad and hopeful at the same time. Almost two years ago I felt the need to create this blog and have been very neglect in following through. For those of you who don't know me I enjoy being in the background. I like to be busy, love to help others, love to share the wisdom that God has given me but I don't want to be known. I am not a fan of being out in front, in fact, it makes me very uncomfortable. I don't update my facebook page because I am not even sure what to post. I have a wonderful life that God has richly blessed but I am much more comfortable talking about it one on one than sharing it online.
This year I am feeling more and more convicted that God wants me to shout it from the rooftops. I HAVE BEEN RICHLY BLESSED BY GOD!!!!! I have no part in that blessing. I did nothing to deserve it and did nothing to earn it. He has just been sooooo good to me.
I also have been convicted that God desires me to share faithbooking more regularly. I have a small group of ladies that I faithbook with and God provides the ideas every month. I am not that creative of a person but every month we have a page to create so remember what God has done for us, shares who God is, enriches our faith and relationship with Him. I have never been all that creative so it must be His ideas. I am so grateful for that group of ladies and the pages we create.
This month we did a two page spread for the new year. The first page was about what we learned in 2014 about God and/or from God. I have limited memory capacity so I loved the idea of looking through my bible study and having one page that shared some truths I gained from the year of study. This way I can look back and be reminded quickly about what I learned and what I need to continue to remember.
The second page was things we were commiting to the Lord or committing to do for the Lord and this blog is one of my commitments for 2015. I look forward to sharing my journey this year and pray that I am able to keep my commitment.
I will be posting once a week and hope to hear from you about your faith journeys.
