It's been just shy of 2 months since I last posted a blog. When I shut down town and slapped the "out of business" sign on my blogging a few months ago, I wasn't really sure if it would ever resurface again. I knew I loved doing it but I felt I wasn't really sure where it was going.
I didn't want to return to blogging if it was just going to be used for my benefit. That doesn't mean that I can't have fun doing it. But it means that the underlying purpose of WHY I blog can't be for my own satisfaction, gain or personal achievement. If I was going to blog again, I wanted to have a reason for doing it and the only reason I was willing to settle for was for the purpose of helping others. When people read my blogs, I want them to enjoy what they're reading and have fun & interact and have a good time. But more then that, I want people to walk away with something that makes them a different person. I recognize that I personally cannot change anyone. Nothing I say or do of my own strength and accord can change someone. But what I can do is I can be a vessel for the one that CAN change people. When I blog, I can blog with the purpose to be a mouthpiece for the One who changes hearts, minds and lives.
My new blog title is one that aligns with the vision and purpose I want my blog to have. I could go into full detail as to all that GOD's been showing me in my own life these last 2 months & how this title came about but in the smallest nut shell possible - we live so much of our lives without ever understanding just how special and important we are to GOD. We wander through so much of life weighed down by our mistakes that we miss the one thing that GOD spoke over us from the very moment we were created, already knowing all that we would do, good and bad - that we were accepted; we were accepted, approved & welcomed.
If we would just live in that - how much more purposeful & fulfilled we would live our lives.
Anyways, I'm really glad to be back & I look forward to all that's to come.
