God is Awesome!

I am so excited.  I can’t tell you how awesome this is for me.  Today will mark one month since I decided to use my blog as my devotions.  Okay – so that doesn’t seem like a big deal to anyone – you all have heard me chat on and on about my convictions and my views on things and hearing weird stories about my life.  That is all well and good- but not the reason that I started this blog. 

The reason that I started it was because I have always struggled to do daily devotions, I was writing it because a friend and I were talking and discussing and she said that I should write things down.  She is an amazing friend and started encourageing me to write and really get into the word. When i started, it was just to put some thoughts down in writing- she was the only one that I gave the link to.  I then decided, felt really led to use it as my devotional site.  A safe place for me to go and actually write my devotions down.  To get into the word and apply it to my life. 

You know those commercials about “the internet is what you make it”?  Well it really is.  It can easily be used for evil – but at the same time, it can be used for good.  Now I know that God is working through MY life through my blog- I see Him working while I re-organize my priority list and re-evaluate my relationship with Him.  I see him moving in my kid’s lives as my oldest daughter is asking all sorts of questions about Jesus and God at just 3!  I really have been blessed by writing this and by being able to express my thoughts on certain matters in this “safe” arena. 

I love the verses in Colossians 3.  Verses 16 and 17 – “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Since I started devoing EVERY day and making it a priority – I have seen the word of Christ come up in my teaching my children.  My kids ask for songs about Jesus in the car now instead of the other child’s songs.  God is so good people.  Let me tell you.  If you let Him work through you – He will do amazing things!  So for the 12-13 people that will read this today (since that is my average per post) – get into the Bible – find a time for “God time” where you can be intimate with Him and read your Bible.  Figure out a way to let God bless your life.  Follow His guidance and callings and He will make your path straight. 

Also – for the people that do read this blog- thanks – thanks for keeping me accountable and thanks for your comments and thanks for your support.  God has really made me thankful this morning- for my family, my sweet and amazing and encouraging friends, this blog and for HIM!!  God – you ROCK!!
