I have felt an overwhelming desire to blog lately, but I'm SCARED. I know that sounds crazy. BUT I'm not much of a writer, but I have an overwhelming desire to share what God is teaching me in hopes that some things I write will resonate with you.
What exactly am I SCARED of?
1. I will let you down.
2. I will not represent God properly.
3. It will consume too much of my time.
4. I will have writers block.
5. Control: If I'm not careful I control things. Hint: I am a firstborn. Once it's on the web I have put myself out there and I can no longer control where it goes and what happens with this information.
6. Who am I to share and write about anything? I'm the same as you. I'm no different. Why me? I'm only a sinner .... Saved by grace!
7. Writing grammatically correct is not always my strongest attribute.
8. I will sound like I have it all together when in fact I don't!
8. I will sound like I have it all together when in fact I don't!
That being said... I have to follow God. I don't exactly know what that looks like. I don't and that's what scares me.
But 2 Timothy 1:7 states
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
So because I know FEAR COMES FROM THE ENEMY, I am going to follow God! He has given me power, love and a sound mind. BECAUSE of that I can be a voice piece for Him. I can do it without fear. He will guide me EVERY step IF I CHOOSE to follow Him!
My ONLY desire for this blog is to follow Him as best I can in hopes that the people who read it are drawn closer to Him.... Grammatically correct or not, whether I let you down or not, whether I'm as consistent as others would like. It doesn't matter when it's all for HIS GLORY~ not mine.
And I'll leave you with one of my favorite verses:
"He must increase, I must decrease." ~John 3:30
So for this to work, He has got to increase and I have got to decrease!
