My
life has been simplified to the point that I don't do many things
different. I think the key is that there is nothing that I do that I
don't enjoy doing. I really like writing this blog, because it is
much more than just the writing of the words. It is far more than
just posting pictures that I find appealing to my senses, and hoping
that you might like them also. It is even more than the video's that
are on my blog. They are there for your enjoyment, and maybe broaden
your horizons to different forms of praise.
We
are all different people, and different things attract us, and draw
attention to them. Sometimes I post poetry, and some times I post
short stories that other people have poured their heart out before
you that I find great meaning within. Most of the time I just write
what is on my mind, and that could be about anything on any given
day.
I
try to stay on a common theme with my writing, and that is the love
of the Father toward us. What started out from an act of sheer
boredom has grown into a form of ministry for me. If you read my
first posts I was trying to establish a common theme, and it never
really did take form. I knew that I could write some stories of
interest to some people, and I think that I did manage to do that.
However, something was missing on the inside of me. I was not
satisfied with the results, because it didn't satisfy my inner man.
Then
I took over a year break trying to figure out who I was, and more
importantly who God was, and who He was to me. I knew that something
had to change when I picked this blog back up. I knew that I had
changed. I didn't feel like I once felt. I didn't act the way that I
used to act. I didn't even think the same as I once thought. My
Spiritual life had gone through a complete massive overhaul, so you
would expect my blog to change. Right?
Well.................It
didn't at first,....It was about the same as before. I was trying to
write differently, but I still had fear living on the inside of me.
You can tell by that picture on the front of my blog if you would
look closely. That picture has been there since the beginning, and it
is of me scared to death of my own shadow!! I like it. It
reminds me of where that I’ve been, and who brought me out, and set
me free!!
The
only way that I could find any meaning in the words that I write was
to write about what I truly love, and love doing. It had to be about
the solution that I found for the miserable life that I had been
living, and how this change has taken place. It needs to praise the
One that snatched me from the flames of hell, and show others that
the way that I found really works.
I
write mostly to the Christians out there who are still struggling,
because I more than qualify to minister to those who are suffering. I
know what it is like to turn my back on a loving God that is just
trying to help me. I know how it is to give praise to a can of beer,
or a drug, because of pure fear knowing that I was doing wrong. I
wanted to do better, but I was under the influence of Satan. He had a
stronghold on me, and I was terrified of the only One who could crush
it!! I know what it is like to be a complete mess, and rejecting my
only help.
Of
all these things that I know how it feels to be a hopeless loser. I
now know the meaning of mercy, and grace. I know how important that
forgiveness is in my life. Not only to be forgiven, but to be able to
forgive myself. Maybe that is what Paul is talking about when he says
that we need to work out our own Salvation with fear and trembling,
because we have a part of the plan of salvation. We are responsible
to receive it. It will not be forced upon us!!
Yep,..........That's
right,.............I do know a little something.
…..............Much Love
