I've never attempted to write a blog before for fear of boring the heck out of my friends and loved ones. This is no exception. I'm a failure at journaling, having tried and failed and wasted more journals than I care to admit. I need an outlet, however, to sort my jumbled thoughts and calm my weary soul. So, once again, I'm giving it a go.
I'm a mom and a daughter, a divinity student and a diversity facilitator. I am a lover of God, his son Jesus and the blessed Holy Spirit. God has saved me so often and in so many ways through his mercy, his grace, has been my rock and salvation and love and I know God has been there much more for me than I have for God. But, my heart is steadfast. As John Wesley so eloquently wrote in his Covenant Prayer:
I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things
to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
let it be ratified in heaven. Amen
So, as I grow in my faith and try to become a better me each day, I want to chronicle my path and take all of you along for the ride.
