A little over two years ago, I wrote my first blog post and in a couple of days I will write my 500th post. Why am I reintroducing myself? Why the rebrand? It has been so long since I have explained to readers why I write these posts nearly everyday. I am reintroducing myself because in my heart, I want more and more people to see what I am writing. Not for me, but because I believe that what I am writing really can add value to your life.
I also hope that more people learn that I have a blog. Not because it makes me look good, but because I truly believe that everyone can learn something from the words that come to me in each post. It's all the work of the Holy Spirit. Whenever I go back and read through a post, I don't feel like it's ever something that I wrote.
I don't believe that I can bring value because I am a good writer, I believe that I can bring value because every post that I write is based off the word of God.
A couple months before I began this blog, I made a commitment to God to read my bible every day. No matter what mood I was in, I was going to read. I was discovering so much that I had forgotten about. God was blowing me away with things I was finding by digging deeper.
I was so on fire for what I was learning from the bible that I couldn't keep it to myself. All my life, I was looking for that spark and fulfillment that we are "supposed" to feel when we are Christians. I tried reading devotionals, praying more, reading books, etc. Those things were all good for me, but there was still something I was missing. I knew when I started reading my bible that I had figured it out.
I wanted to share what I was reading because my hope is that everyone can start to read their bibles on a daily basis. It took me 21 years to figure that out and I don't want other people to have to wait that long.
I have heard my whole life that reading the bible will really make a difference, but until I made the choice to do so everyday my whole life changed.
My purpose in writing is to encourage others to make the same commitment that I did.
