Words

Grace and Peace in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is with this in mind that I attempt to put my words in writing that have been sitting in my heart for a while. It is not an easy thing to do to write. And if I based my experience in high school on whether I would ever write, the answer would be a large NO! I have always enjoyed words much to the dismay of my parents as I know they grew weary of hearing so many growing up. My father once told me to try to count to ten without saying another word. I am not sure if I ever made it. Oh well, so now I find that the opportunity is there for my words to be put in writing. What a splendid idea and one I pray blesses you. I knew that words really matter to me when after becoming a mother of twins I heard the words “I am so glad it is you and not me” till I thought I was going to be depressed the rest of my life. One Sunday morning our Sunday school teacher challenged us to find a scripture for the year and ask God to use that verse in our life. I wasn’t real happy about the idea at first but remember I was discouraged at the time. The Lord knew my discouragement and lead me to look at Hebrews 10:24,25 which says the following “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." This verse truly did a work in my heart and over and over again when I have struggled to know my calling I always go back to this verse and am challenged to live this out in some small way.
It is with this verse in mind that I will be writing a regular blog in hopes that number one God will be glorified and that you the reader will find courage in your walk with the Father.
