I am not “untechable” after all
So I was pretty sure this was never going to happen…this blog posting thing. I had super good intentions of starting this blog at the beginning of 2012. Then when I got started I realized I might be untechable (I am pretty sure I coined this word,well, 90% sure). That is my term for not being able to learn technological trickery. But, the fact that your reading this means that I have indeed , at the very least, mastered ( I use that term loosely) the ability to post on my site. Hooray!
You might have noticed the name of this site. Here is a little explanation of how I came to be here (on a site I created), doing this (writing all kinds of thoughts), considering my above stated lack of overall techiness. I was watching an interview with one of my favorite authors, Mr. Max Lucado, on television the other day. He said something about “ongoing revelation,” and the truth of God being revealed to us this way in what he believes is a spirit of unity. He was speaking on change within the church, but I was moved by those words in relation to my own personal walk with Christ. “Ongoing revelation.” That is what I want with Him. To be in a state of looking to Him to constantly reveal to me His will for my life.
I turned that thought over and around in my head every which way, looking back at the past few months, and seeing clearly that He has been speaking to me, guiding me, prompting me to begin. Begin? Yes, that was a complete thought. The thing is I am not sure what it is the beginning of exactly. But, the thing is I am certain that it has to do with writing. In that same interview, Mr. Lucado ( I kind of love him) spoke about “missing things the first time.” I believe that writing is my way of connecting, uniting myself with other people through shared thoughts or ideas. I missed that the first time, and possibly a few times after that, but in the last few months I have come to understand it is part of me… the me God created, purposefully. I am not implying that I am going to be inking book deals, I am thinking more about obedience. Hearing what He is revealing to me. Constantly. And, then sharing those thoughts with you.
So here we are at the beginning…
