What Can Be Expected?

So...what can you expect from this blog?

I'm sure the question is on your mind, burning there wanting to know. To be quite honest I'm not really sure what you can expect. I've been feeling now for a while that God has been wanting me to share, this has been confirmed in various ways by others saying the same thing (my wife chief among them).

What am I supposed to share?

Not sure about that one either. I've been told I view the world in a unique way (but we all do because we are all unique) and that I should share these things, my life, my thoughts.

I've been told all these things, I've thought about them and truthfully railed against them because I'm a very introverted person and don't necessarily like sharing things about myself, mainly due to pride and fear. Pride because we are all prideful and hold our opinions of ourselves in very high regard and fear because it's scary to have that regard challenged and possibly even ridiculed. But if there's one thing the Lord has been teaching me over these past 26 years it's that the only thing to fear, is Him. He is to be feared and He is to be held in the highest regard. Our society is very Pride and Fear based and we throw them around, getting them mixed up and confused for Humility and Respect.

I'm still afraid, and I'm still prideful, but the best way to overcome these things is to simply listen to God and follow his commands even when it's hard and hurts. So though I'm imperfect and a stubborn child, I'm still His child and I will do as he commands.

So what can you expect?

I'll tell you some about my life, my "story" if you will forgive the cliched term. I'll share some of my thoughts on Scripture and the Lord (yes, these will be opinions and subject to changing as I age and gain new experiences as well as conflict with your opinions and your deep seeded desires to have everyone agree with you [I know those feelings first hand and have them myself sometime still]). I'll share stories based on my experiences/scripture and I'll share dreams I believe the Lord has given me, a way of talking to me when I can't protest (maybe that's why we sleep, so for once in our busy lives we are forced to stop and He can speak without so much protesting).

This is the stuff I'll share, and I'll label them too (cause I'm organized like that).

Bible  |  My Life  |  Misc  |  Stories

So I hope you look forward to reading my thoughts and maybe even some insights. Please feel free to share your thoughts (though anyone that is confrontational or impolite will be ignored/removed) and encouragement is always welcome.

Please pray that I'm able to be articulate in what I write, only writing what is beneficial and according to God's will (let's keep my Pride and Fear out of it shall we).

Thanks for reading.

God Bless
