Getting Started

My experience as a Christ follower comes with many ups and downs. I've had some "high, highs" and some low, lows". But through it all, I am convinced that God has proven to be faithful time and time again in my life. I have decided to document my handwritten journal entries as an addition to my blog over the next few weeks and months. This is my personal endeavor into the Word of God.

I am a part of an online community (since the summer of 2012) called She Reads Truth (SRT). This community has been a welcomed addition to my life as I dig deeper into God's Word. We have completed a study on the book of Nehemiah. While wrapping up the study with my online group, my church announced that we would be starting a message series called "Change Your World in 52 Days: The Story of Nehemiah". I've learned a lot about Nehemiah. His story has absolutely changed the way I view myself as a follower of Christ. I have gained great knowledge and valuable insight from studying Nehemiah's life. This old testament book and SRT has been my motivation to share my insight about the Word of God and ways it applies to our daily life. 

I will always try my best to give credit where credit is due. Most of what I write will be my very own thoughts, or applications from the bible, or revelation, all of which I hold up against the Word of God for truth and understanding. However, as I study the Word, I have also found helpful insight from other sources. This could range from pastors/church leaders, bible studies, bible commentaries, fellow Christ followers and life itself. Just the basic, ordinary day-to-day grind of life can offer valuable insight into who God is, how He loves, and how He is at work in our lives. 

Lord, today I pray that if what I have to say blesses anyone's life in any way that all glory be given to you. In Jesus name, Amen.
