All To The Glory Of God

 

    It’s not  always easy to admit my flaws. Perhaps you feel this as well. The things we do well, we can be proud of or happy to accomplish. We can even let out a joyful squeal of delight that we succeeded at something, especially if it’s something we hope others might notice.

    If I’m going to be successful at this blog and the many creative outlets and the impact I’m hoping this site, has I will need to face my own less than's so I know where my pit falls might be as I venture forth. I could sit in the throws of my own shadow and hide the things that plague me in my mind as possible stumbling blocks. However, I believe that to have freedom from those things that hold us back, and truly rely on Christ and the abilities he has given us I need to start this journey a little differently. I need to be up front. 

    First and foremost letting you know you will not find perfectionism here. If you desire something perfect spilling onto the pages of the screen before you I give you permission to quietly close the browser and search elsewhere. I will do my best to be raw, and bring the truest sense of humor and genuinety that I strive to bring to my everyday life.

    I love to write and although I am currently working on a book, which is in year 2, I think, in the making it is still not finished as I pause to contemplate and think, process, and learn, and absorb the Word and the happenings of the world. This blog will be a slightly different challenge for me. Where I once had the time to write a blog back in the day with one child and sustained it for a period I only wrote periodically. Now I am choosing to be more intentional in my writing and so I need to be honest this will have weeks of struggle for me. It will shape me. Challenge me, and push me. However it will make me a better writer and help me be a better blogger, and perhaps in all that writing I will feel inspired to complete my book quicker. One can hope.

    My love for God is paramount so I strive to keep that my primary focus in my blogging and creative endeavors on this journey. Letting God use me, mold me, all for His glory. I have been complimented before on how I must be so organized. I am not. I am a disorganized person in my personal life, and doing a project like this will challenge that part of me. Often my creativity means spreading myself between multiple projects and ideas and that doesn’t make for a very pinterest worthy life. However it does and can make for an interwoven one – where Christ is in everything and everything is for his glory. That is better and more beautiful I think.

Come along for the journey, growing together in refinement through Christ.

In Grace and Christ,
