Here goes!

Hey sisters! I am happy that you have found your way to my humble little blog. I am new to blogging and never really understood why people did it. What was the thrill in keeping basically the online equivalent of the diary we all had as teenagers so that hundreds of people (too optimistic?) that we don't even know could read all about the details of our lives. Plus, who was disciplined enough to or had enough time to post on it every day? Certainly not me.

Apparently God and I have a difference of opinion.

Over the last year or so,  I have begun to feel that God wants me to write devotionals. My basis for this is the fact that every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, ordinary mundane things will happen and I will "hear" a little voice in my head say "Hey-that would be a great topic to build a devotional on." I am not talking about profound, epiphinal moments but simple things like dropping everything all day or the commercials for that website that makes you obsessed with how many people are looking for you. Little things that we all experience that could be related to something so much more. I had about 5 in a row today and finally looked up and smiled and said "Yes sir Father- I will do it." He is pushy for our own good sometimes Amen?

So here I go.  It is my prayer that God will be heard here-not me. I want this to be HIS blog, not mine. I just want to be the vessel that allows His love and HIS words to reach a sister who needs to hear His voice.

God bless you and come back soon-Good stuff is coming!
