Gotta Start Somewhere

So I created this blog four years ago in which I wrote one entry and never visited again. I have reently deleted it because it was just some random welcome stuff. I've come back because lately I've been feeling like I have a lot on my mind and not sharing it or letting the thoughts out. Writing in a journal makes my hand cramp. I have no idea how people have done it all these years, but I may just have issues with it because I am so detailed and never wanting to leave anything out!

Writing a blog has come to me a lot and I've avoided it because nobody wants to read about what time I woke up this morning and everything I did each hour! I would probably be my only reader. So last week before I was about to meet with a realtor to start house hunting, I was going through several thoughts in my head and shared them with my boyfriend. I decided if I want to write a blog, why not write one about the only one who deserves all of our attention? I will be sharing with you my thoughts on becoming a stronger Christian and describing stuff I learn in my own words.

Feel free to keep up with my ramblings, or delete them. This is a way I want to share God's love and it's open to everyone! Join with me in this journey of learning what being a Christian is all about!

I have to thank God for being patient, inspirational books (The Hope Series by Donna VanLiere) for helping me learn why God sent Jesus. I plan to continue reading the genre as they use stories to help me understand. Also thankful for those who encouraged me to teach the Sunday school class. My boyfriend because even though I've always thought I was a Christian, I've never allowed myself to love and since knowing him I've wanted to learn more about loving others as they are. I also thank the scene in the movie Fireproof the dad and son are on a walk and the dad explains Christ's love for us with the cross in the background. That's where my curiosity started because I never really got it til then. My praise team at church getting into studying the scripture together for the service and our guitarist and myself sharing our faith. Lastly I must give credit to my 365 daily devotionals app which I've been slacking on lately, but it got me started.

Anyway, as you can see it took a lot for me to get where I am and in just a short amount of time. Couple of years I guess. And here all this time I thought my faith was strong, I found I don't know it all and I want to know more and have answers when questions arise.
