Themeless
Many blogs have themes or fit into some sort of blog genre. This one doesn't. Sometimes it seems to resemble a devotional, others it is more journal-like. This blog it "unscripted" and goes more or less in whatever direction the Lord and the words take it.
I began writing a journal when I was a child and continued sporadically during varied periods of my life... creating a very sketchy history. Then my TBI therapists suggested a journal might help lend continuity to my life, something I desperately needed. So, when my blog waxes mundane with routine events of the day, bear in mind that it helps me keep track of the days. I will probably need that more during this upcoming move to Florida.
When there are spiritual "gems," as one reader called them, it is because the Lord has led. I always pray to be able to sense and follow His leading, but both He and I agree that this blog is not particularly designed to deliver sermons. It is rather an open look inside the real-life walk of an everyday Christian who has ups and downs, who learns and has to relearn, who is completely dependent on God for her life... and as an act of obedience in transparency has laid it all out before the public in hopes someone may receive encouragement, a blessing, a chuckle... or the realization that they are not alone.
This blog appears on a church web site as well as several other venues. It is the same in each place, not meant to be "churchy," just real. I pray it will bless you as you read it just as it has blessed me to write it.
I personally know many of you who read regularly, but I have come to know many more readers "digitally." I started writing for me... to help myself, but I had no idea how God would use these verbal ramblings to not only bless some readers, but to enhance my own life in unforeseen ways! Now, you readers are always in the back of my mind as I write, and it changes things... enriches the experience of writing because I pray for you as I "write." (Much of the time I say the words to a microphone and the software types the words for me.) Plus your comments are treasures.
