About 6 months ago, I entered the blogging world with mixed expectations and more than just a little reluctance. It seemed like a waste of time to read the tales of less-than-amateur writers as they talked proudly about themselves, their likes, their dislikes, etc… and the thought of throwing my own lack-of-talent iron in the fire seemed to be excessively haughty if not downright wasteful of the time and energy God has made me a steward of.
My eyes were opened. After just a few days of reading blogs that were recommended by people I respect, I quickly came to realize the abundance of wisdom that is instantly accessible without a trip to the library or a stop at the bookstore. Who cares if there are occasional fragments and misspellings… some of these guys are BRILLIANT!
So, now I’m an avid blog READER… but why do I write?
Recently I felt a challenge from God… "if you believe that I am ACTIVE in your life, why don’t you tell people what I’m doing and teaching you so that they can believe too?" The logical answer, for where I'm at in life, was to start this blog.
Since I started, I've found that I now force myself to recognize God's action because I know that people will read about it. God has been doing SIGNIFICANT things in my life on a daily basis for a long time, but most of the time I haven't noticed. Now, when I notice God's ACTION, I write it down... not only to encourage others from my experiences, but to give God the opportunity to show me His greatness because He knows I won't just keep it to myself!
Do you notice God at work in your life? Could someone else benefit from the lessons your learning?
