Never in a million years did I ever think I would write to share with the world. But then God spoke the word "Write" and I ignored. He spoke again and I argued, He spoke again and again and again. He kept telling me, "Share from your heart, and I will do the rest." I weakly said, "Ok."
I'm so glad I did. It has become a joy to write, to learn, to make new friends, even to become vulnerable and share hard things, because it has brought many to me who have shared their hard stories with me and we have the priveledge to bring these things before the Lord together.
What an honor that is and as I've said before, may all the things from this place bring glory and honor to the One who started all of this.
And if anything is good here, it is all from Him.
And if anything is good here, it is all from Him.
Thank you Father!
"It's a strange thought that sometimes God trusts us more
than we trust Him. Maybe all along He was saying "I knew
you could. I know what's in you. I know what's in you
because I am in you. And I am your all surpassing power
in a jar of clay. Watch me show off,
from the inside out".

I started off laughing out loud at the beginning of the post ... and I end with an "Amen Lord - show off in me also" ...
He shows off through you very well ... write on!

oh no...I might actually be a blogger...great job Kris...glad you finally said yes. blessings~
I'm nodding my head in agreement the whole way through... I love how you "hear" God. I never hear him, but I believe he gives me signs and points me in the direction I am supposed to go, or brings people to me to help me on my way. So honored to be sharing this blogging experience with you!
What a great list, Kristin! We all can relate to just about every single one of your blogging characteristics! :) Thanks for making me smile!
Love it!!! So true. All of it. Stopping by from Playdates. Blessings from Croatia: A Little R & R: www.littlerandr.org
Really cute! Stopping by from Ann's.
I must say that the picture of the pond on your header is stunning. I could sit there for hours... maybe days.
Blessings.
LOL Oh, I love this! Such a fun post! And soooooooo true! Yes, Lord, from the inside out...show off! Thanks, Kristin, for this!
Oh, I could relate to this! So funny but true!
Love this Kris! And what a great blogger...writer...you are! I think we all can relate to the list.
Blessings...Chelle
Ahh, yes- the cow patty post. Hmm.. can't wait to see what you do with that inspiration. I read your whole list with a giggle. And I love that quote by Beth Moore. Keep blogging, friend! Coming here from Wellspring today. Blessings from another camera-carrying, post-it-note-sticking blogger :)
all so true! I carry my camera with me alot cuz I love photography and that's why I blog. And I find myself taking photos I'd not take if I wasn't a blogger, like stuff that happens in the kitchen or when my daughter's car battery died and I had to help her out and all I had was my cell phone. I thought about not blogging all together a year ago but decided to keep going. It's a way to share my photos and encourage others in the Lord. Thanks for the funny post!
So glad you said YES to blogging.
I love this post.
Love this post! I can so relate. I recently tried to write something similar but never posted it. Now I don't need to!
Blogging does change a lot doesn't it? Loved this list - made me laugh, and challenged me, too. Thanks.
I love how you said you started to write out of frustration rather than obedience! :-) Thanks for your honesty. I thought your list was cute, too. I'm thankful for blogging programs that take care of the HTML code, cuz I'm illiterate there! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you!

Haha, so true!! I always try to see how everything can be made into a post. ;)
