My blog is all dressed up and ready to go, now what? I guess this is where I start talking.
Why a blog from me, someone who has never been a writer, someone who has never been that articulate or had a huge grasp of the grammer world? Because God told me to write. Several years back started a life storm for me and my family. God kept telling me to write it all down. I argued. He wouldn't let up. This went on every day for a couple of weeks until one day out of frustration, (I'd like to say it was out of obedience but I'm going to be truthful here), I picked up a pen and paper and wrote solid for 7 hours straight! Do you think maybe I needed therapy and God knew it? I've been writing ever since and have learned to love it! I've been sharing my stories with friends and family which have traveled all over because of them. I've even been in a church paper in Nashville, woohoo:)
Why Ponderings? During this life storm of mine, God led me to a pond out in the woods behind my home. There He met me each time, teaching me new lessons, reminding me of old ones, showing His presence and letting me feel His love through the surroundings of that pond. I found myself going back over and over to ponder, pray, and praise. A healing of my heart took place and out of this experience came my first book, Ponderings From the Pond, a second book, Ponderings from My Porch. A third book is in the works along with a memoir about my storm.
Why am I making myself vulnerable? Because God has done so much that I cannot keep quiet. I have to share. Jesus's last words to his disciples were "Go, tell". We are his disciples too and this is just one of my ways of telling.
I'm no scholar but I have heard God's voice in my spirit, experience His love daily, and desire for others to experience this also. If you already do and would like to share, I would love to hear. If my sharing gets just one to ponder, to be quiet and still with the Father, to learn to see and hear from Him, or to be reminded of something from Him they have put in the back of their minds, then this is worth my vulnerability.
Please leave comments, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
Welcome
Why a blog from me, someone who has never been a writer, someone who has never been articulate or had a solid grasp of the grammar world. Because God told me to write. Several years ago a life storm invaded my family. God kept telling me to write it all down. I argued, but He would not let up. This went on every day for a couple of weeks until one day out of frustration, (I'd like to say it was out of obedience), I picked up a pen and paper and wrote for 7 hours straight! Do you think maybe I needed therapy and God knew it?
I've been writing ever since and have learned to love it! I started out sharing my stories with friends and family. I've now been published in a Nashville church paper, Our Daily Journey (a devotional site of RBC Ministries), PCCWeb Daily Devotional, Ruby for Women Ezine Magazine, and I am a contributor in the book Alabaster Jars, Life in Abundance Collection 2.
Why Ponderings? During this life storm, God led me to a pond in the woods behind my home. There He met me each time, teaching new lessons, reminding me of old ones, showing His presence and allowing me to feel His love through the surroundings of that pond. I found myself returning over and over to ponder, pray and praise. A healing of my heart took place and out of the experience came my first book, Ponderings From the Pond, then a second book, Ponderings From My Porch, and now a third book is in the works along with a memoir about my storm.
Why am I making myself so vulnerable? Because God has done so much that I cannot keep quiet. I have to share. Jesus's last words to his desciples were, "Go,tell." We are his disciples too and this is just one of my ways of telling.
I'm no scholar but I have heard God's voice in my spirit, experience His love daily, and have a desire for others to experience this also. I would love to share with all who visit and I would love to hear from you. If my sharing gets just one to ponder, to be quiet with the Father, to see and hear from Him or to be reminded of something from Him, then this is worth my vulnerability.
As you visit me, sometimes we will be at the pond, sometimes we will move to the front porch, and sometimes we will just be here, there, and yonder. Thank you for coming and please feel free to come back anytime, you are always welcome here.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
