I need your prayers. As most of you have already noticed, I am not the most frequent of bloggers. I have been struggling with this since the first day that Adventures In Missions introduced me to my blog. I am not sure why but I can’t seem to think of anything “blog worthy” and even when I can I can’t seem to find the words, or even bring myself to the computer to type them. There is a block; a mental block against my blogs. I think of it as homework. Or I guess as work in general. I need prayer against the spirit of laziness. It is somewhat of a chore for me to take my thoughts and put them into something that people can actually comprehend, well rather desire to read; my thoughts are not that complex. My thoughts often come and go as quickly as the minute flies by. I rarely journal. I spend so much time verbally communicating and expressing any thoughts that I am developing with my team and those around me that when I actually have time to put them on paper I am just over talking about them. I don’t consider myself the most creative of people either. I am not one to come up with an exciting story or a random metaphor that I can somehow relate to Jesus. I am not a teacher. I am not a speaker. I am not a writer. All I am is someone who decided to listen to God and follow Jesus. With that being said, that is why I am here. I am on The World Race because God wants me here; because he handpicked me to be on this team; to be on this mission. Part of The World Race is to blog. Part of our ministry is to blog. Therefore, I am called to blog. Whether I like it or not, whether I am good at it or not, for this next year God has asked me to blog. Moses was not too stoked on the idea of speaking or passin on the word; he didn’t want to do it at all, but God asked him to, and he obeyed.
Moses said to the Lord, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” Exodus 4:10-12
Soooooooooooo folks that’s what I’m going do, obey. I am going to trust that the Lord will “help me to speak and teach me what to say”. I may not always get it right. It may not be interesting. It may not make any since. You may not agree. You may not understand me. I may not understand me; but I am going to commit to blog. I am committing to post at least once a week/write once a week (post if there is internet available). Even if I write only one sentence there will be something. Shwoo… ok I wrote it and now I am gonna have to follow through with it. I have all of you to hold me accountable. Yikes that is a lot of accountability! Remember…….
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24
and
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. Proverbs 12:25
Ps. Just so you know I had a picture to go with this blog. I almost did not post this blog because the picture is not on me at the moment……..this is the extent of the craziness that i am talking about.
