“Refuse to be content with just the knowledge of God, but insist on experiencing His presence.”
- Kerri Weems
I'm an average girl, in love with Jesus; the one who has turned me inside out and mended my utterly broken life. I am also in love with words; that can change a mood, or a relationship, all in one breath. And in love with moments; ones that in a fleeting passage can leave an infinite footprint on the world. Those are the things this blog is about: Jesus, words, moments.
As I sit down now and begin to write, I open with both humility and courage. Finally, after years of imagining doing so, decades of dreaming, here I sit. Now that the keys are finally in action, I am unclear where they will actually lead; I only know to let them flow freely, unhindered. May these words somehow fall onto these pages and into place in such a way that will both inspire and encourage you. In a way that will speak to your heart, deep down, and capture your soul.
I am not a professional writer, so you what you get is an unpolished version; often inarticulate and improper. Which also means I will be vulnerable. This is when God will go to work on us both. Some words that will pour out onto these pages have never been shared with the people in my life whom have either caused or been affected by them. Things unsaid until now. Hopefully you will relate to the stories. It may open up wounds for us both…but we will journey this misty wooded trail together using all our bruises and scars to illustrate the good news of Christ!
You too have a story, beautifully woven by your Father in heaven, being played out from one day to the next..one moment to the next. May this sharing of mine send you running, unhindered, toward the giant open arms of a loving and waiting God. Demanding you to just give your self up.
By the grace of God, and only for the glory of God, may these words be spread and read with love.
“My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love you
I want my heart to repeat it to you as often as I draw breath.”
- St. John Vianney
Perhaps your own story will surface. Let them stir in you, and stir you up. It is my hope that He will speak through me as I bleed onto these pages. It will not be my writing that will touch you, but the Holy Spirit moving in you.
