I am starting a new blog. I think. Maybe tomorrow I will change my mind. But hopefully not.
In talking with Tom tonight, it was suggested that journaling could be a way to reflect back on a regular basis at what God is doing - to appreciate more the ways in which He is answering prayer, how He is working, etc. Because I too often overlook the little things that God does, this can force me to look and acknowledge His presence.
This space is not meant for me. If I fill this electronic journal up with self-serving or self-interested prose, then I have failed to live up to the blog's title; rather, I endeavor to grow in my ability to give God the glory for what I see Him doing.
The hope is that by increasing my recognition of God, my faith will grow so that I can begin to look towards Him to work with increasing power. Simultaneously, I hope that these reflections will arm me with encouraging words to share with my brothers and sisters in Christ. We all need to hear more about what God is doing.
Which leads me to one final point....the audience. As this is not a blog for the public, I should redirect my pronouns. This writing is to you, God, in hopes that you will work in me through it.
