The blank page… I have been sitting here staring at this white screen trying to come up with the words that need to be put out there. What should I write? What do I have to offer this already learned world? With the internet at your fingertips there is nothing I can say that you have not heard before. But therein lies the flaw… That is the very reason the page has been left blank. I cannot blog or write or speak if I do so to teach you anything. It is not mine to pass on some great knowledge or cosmic secret that I may have been keeping. It is mine to take in knowledge and mine to learn. So reader, if you come here to my corner of the internet to learn the secrets of the universe you will be sorely disappointed. This space is now and furthermore dedicated to my own growth and what I have learned from all of you. I am no teacher, no scholar, no sage. I am just a girl wanting to grow into the person that God has created me to be. You all are my teachers, my friends, my family, and you open my eyes to see more every day.
Not long ago I met an old friend for coffee. It had been a while since we had talked and there was a lot to catch up on. I filled my friend in on everything that I have been going through and doing as well as talking endlessly and excitedly about the World Race. Thankfully they listened to my chatter and in the end wanted to know one thing. “Katie, Are you afraid?” I thought about it for a minute and answered, “I am afraid of many things… But I am not afraid to go on this trip… I am not afraid to die.” To be honest, those words coming out of my mouth shocked even me. I’m not afraid to die? Really? Yes, really. My friend looked me in the eye and said, “You know what that makes you, right?” “What,” I asked. “That makes you invincible.”
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” ~Ephesians 2:8
God has saved us and He will be with us even unto the ends of the earth. We need not fear for God will work in us and through us.
