I have just finished a Bible Study called Rhythms of Renewal by Rebekah Lyons. This is an amazing feat in and of itself because I never finish things, so I'd just like to say that I'm really proud of myself.
The final lesson of this study was over Creativity. The premise of the week is that God, our Creator, has invited us to create WITH Him. This allows the overflow from our renewed and refueled hearts to go somewhere productive. I have never really thought about that before, but my heart has been intrigued to see what shape this could take.
Upon pondering where this lesson might lead me, my mind settled on how much I have previously enjoyed writing... I wrote a few blog posts many moons ago, but as time marched on, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed just writing.
I think the thing that God has placed in me is a passion to share stories, both my story and the stories of others. I am grateful to have a job where I get to share the lives of others in order to bring LIFE to others.
As much as I enjoy writing social media posts regarding our ministry at Hope for the Hungry, I feel the Lord telling me to do more. So, here I am, 5 years and another kid later, writing on my blog again. This might just be a post for today, or it might be something that sticks around for a little bit. Only time will tell. What I know is this: it feels good, and it feels right. I have things to say, and if I'm the only one who reads them, at least they are out there. And that's enough for me.
END.

Glad you're here, and I hope you'll stay!
ReplyDeleteThis is for you...
You're putting your words out there
in boldness (though your knees might shake)
but still moving strong, foursquare
along the holy road you take
to raise the Gospel banner high,
to share the Good News in your heart
with each doubting passer-by
that they, in grace, might deign to start
considering what they had held
in haughty amused skepticism;
then, SHAZAAM! the concept gelled
and thus the fallen, newly risen
find themselves running toward
the outstretched arms of the Lord.
