I've been struggling with this blogging thing for a few weeks. It is not for a lack of ideas or content but rather because I have been contemplating incorporating some very personal situations of my past and present that God is working through. I know that I need to write about them because I know it will help me process, and it will help others understand my heart and journey. Although I must confess I have been filled with fear in posting.
Fear has been a big stumbling block for me in this process. I feel that my defense mechanisms are in flight or fight mode when I begin to process some of the things God has put His finger on. I've had to compare my life to His Word and work on the differences, and although through His grace is sufficient, I can't tell you it has been a breeze.
What if I share something and people use it against me like they have in the past? What if I share something from my experiences and someone thinks that I am talking about them? What if I offend someone??
Enough is enough!!! I have decided to listen to the scriptures and be transparent. I can't live in fear of what people will say or do, because the scriptures say "I have not been given a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind."
So it is with love that I place my disclaimer.
I am going to be raw and honest. I will speak out of my experiences or whatever God uses to teach me and change me, and I pray that God uses it to minister to everyone who reads it.
