New Beginning to a New Blog

You might wonder why I would choose to start a blog.  After all they are pretty much a dime a dozen these days.  I have to be honest and say I don't have a clear idea about what I will write about but I know that it's something I'm supposed to do.  I read a book about nine months ago titled, "Three Feet From Gold."  I love to read, both fiction and non-fiction, and I highly, highly recommend this book.  After I read the book and did some exercises that the book encouraged I came to the conclusion that I was supposed to start a blog.  If you're not someone that prays a lot you might not understand or agree with this part, but I felt like the blog was something God was leading me to do to be an encouragement, or at least comic relief, to those around me.  I have written some Facebook "notes" about trips I've taken and found that I really loved writing.

Obviously this is my first post and that was nine months ago, so what happened?  I really made one excuse after another; mainly being busy, distracted with my ear and equilibrium issues, telling myself that I really don't have anything to say that would be interesting...the list goes on.  Then, we were at the end of our Yellowstone vacation a few days ago and I told my husband, Lindy--the pastor, that I was really feeling again that I was supposed to start a blog.  I believe he was the only one I told and last November he started helping me set up a blog but I basically just ditched the idea and avoided it before it went anywhere.  Well, Lindy is pretty black and white when it comes to God and he said, "If God told you to do it, then I would say you have to do it."  Thanks, honey.  Hopefully you and my mother won't be the only ones reading it.

I don't know how often I will post, what I will post about, who will read it, when I will have time to post; but I know that when God speaks, you listen.  That's what I plan to do.
