Hello Everyone! I know it has been such a long time since I have written, and I thank everyone who has taken the time to read any or all of the things I have posted. I have gone through some interesting and very diverse times in my life this last few years. I found myself unable to sit and write because I believe God was more interested in teaching me and refining me than He was in giving me a spotlight.
As most of you know, I am a very passionate person. My heart has taken some bumps and bruises that God needed to heal, as He taught me what is really important. I have been guilty in the past of writing things with a righteous indignation and I apologize if I have hurt anyone in the process. My heart is a heart of love.....the kind of love that can only come from God. I have been humbled.....and I am thankful. I have learned.....and I am thankful. I found out that people often see things through different filters and from different perspectives.......and I am thankful that God revealed this to me. My life may be and open book, but not everyone is where I am and I need to be careful to understand that it takes time for some to feel comfortable sharing their lives with others.........oh how I am thankful that God has been teaching me these things!
Today is the day I am jumping back in, but this time I am going to be ever mindful to watch my words...........to consider different mindsets............and to love, even if love is not shown to me. My desire is to listen to God, and share what He lays on my heart in a way that will encourage, inspire, and lift up those who may stumble across my path. I will always strive to stay true to the Word of God and not compromise myself or my convictions..........and I will always strive to continue in love and with compassion.
I have found myself in a place of great adventure with God! He has SHOWN me what true Faith really is. He has shown me HOW to live this life of Faith! Please don't get me wrong.....I still find myself struggling from time to time....BUT GOD! I am hoping to share some of the things God has shown me and to share some of the literal adventures He has graciously thrust me into! There is a new section called Good Samaritan. This section will be my outlet for all things related to Good Samaritan Baptist Mission. I will post my adventures, the needs, children who need sponsoring and so on. It is a New Day for me and changes to this site are coming. I will have trial and error until I get it just right, so please be patient with me.
Finally, I want each of you who read this to know........although I will be writing about my adventures, this is not about me. I have spent way too many years focused on me and I want people to see GOD! I want people to see that JESUS is why I am who I am! If God touches you from something I write, it is because HE had me write it for you and everyone else who benefits from it! My desire is to be used by God for HIS glory and HIS honor! I am human.......I will fail......I am sorry. BUT GOD is GOD and He can use me even when I fail!
May God bless you all!
