Why I blog

May 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Blogging.  A way to collect my thoughts, pictures, stories, and snapshots of my life and family God has blessed me with. A reflection of who I really am in the journey of Life with a big and passionate heart to share the Grace that God has given me again and again and again.

Can Grace really change a heart?

I have endless stories about the grace God has given me. I want to document the good, the bad, and the real ugly of my journey in faith, love, forgiveness, and hope. The ups and downs in my life and the bittersweet storms that have changed me forever. You can read this one here and here.

God has covered me in grace each and every day. He knows my sins, my doubts, my fears, my aches, and most of all he knows my heart. Even this imperfect sinner that I am, he lavishes me with his unconditional love and mercy. When I first gave my life to Christ, I was relieved, yet more confused than the days before. I did not have a spiritual leader in my life, however, God orchestrated meetings unexpectedly to show glimpses of Christ and his love and mercy.

I want to share God’s love with my family. I want to share it with my friends, strangers, co-workers, my preschoolers I teach, those in need. I blog hoping to touch someone’s heart who is looking for God’s love in experiences, life, and my stories. I am not perfect. I do not know every scripture in the bible. I am learning each day more of God. I do however know God. I am encouraged by God even in the storms that pass through and yet to come.

Some may not care of the stories I post but it is special to me to write. I never imagined before that I would blog. Share my intimate details of my life outside a bible study room or private conversation. Share with strangers. The last five years I have been at home raising my children and the last two years I was working on my own business at home. I owned a local online hair bow boutique and worked lots of local fairs. For over six months I struggled with this whisper in my ear to quit the business even though it was going great. I continued for me and I ignored that whisper. I kept ignoring until finally things got harder each day to juggle and then my preschool teaching job fell in my lap. God was definitely trying to get my attention. He had bigger plans for me. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I just wasn’t following God’s plans he was showing me.

Part of his plan was blogging. He had whispered this for a very long time but I ignored that whisper too. I didn’t feel confident. I wasn’t a writer. I am a stay at home mom. God then told me you are an ordinary person and I will use you in extraordinary ways. You may not change the world and not everyone will know your name. But you can be extraordinary for me. You will fail sometimes. You will feel discouraged. But I love you. I will provide what you need for my glory.

I want to tell the world about God’s love.

Wherever God guides me he will provide.

I blog for God’s glory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Jesus hadn’t led us to {this place} just to make our dreams come true. Our dreams, like the disciples’, are always too small. We are here to fulfill God’s dream – that we will bring him glory through our remarkably abundant life. That’s how we find our greatest personal fulfillment, now and for eternity.” ~~Bruce Wilkinson, Secrets of the Vine

I pray that you will hear the soft whispers of God calling to fulfill his dreams. I know there will be more whispers yet to come and I may not always here them at first. My prayer is that we will always be fixed on his love and share his word to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

In our homes. In the store. Through emails. On our blogs.

Much Love,

Chalkola + Birthday

Riding horses, horse and rainbow cake, family time, pizza, and this adorable Chalkola Chalkboard. I am not an artist but the Chalkola brand chalk […]

His Love

This world is full of sorrow and suffering and death. But thankfully, this world isn’t it for us. Because of God’s greatest gift of salvation, we have the hope of the world to come, where there is no suffering and peace surpasses everything.  The storms that are raging and crashing all around us….will stop. That sickness […]
