"Why a blog?" you may ask, & that's a question I asked myself even as I designed & created this page. For years I've done personal journaling...first just of the facts of what we did that day, but over time it became an outlet of my feelings, emotions & struggles, & I found so much healing as I recorded my life in the pages of a notebook. I have found there is so much beauty to writing down life because life is beautiful, & there are so many memories & moments that I would have long forgotten if I hadn't written them down. I have also found it is such a good way to record my growth in my walk with Christ, & one of my favourite things to do is go back through old journals to be reminded of what God has done in my life & how great He is.
In the Old Testament God is always telling His people to remember what He has done for them, & I think the same is helpful today. As humans it's so easy to forget how He has worked in the past & how greatly that affects our future. So why a blog? For so long my writing has been in a private book kept in my room, but I feel like this is something that can be used to bless others. As I've been here at Legacy Bible in Wooster, Ohio, one of our assignments is to write a journal entry every week to record growth & for our instructors to read. The more that I write out the things God is impressing on my heart the more I've thought of the value of sharing this with others, because maybe something that God is telling me is something that is helpful for others to hear too. So here I will be sharing my thoughts & some will be from my entries at Legacy & what I'm learning here. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my blog. Even if you only read one post I hope that some part of it blesses you, & that it will stir you to sit back & remember all the things God has done in your past so you can go share it with someone too.
