What a day to start – the 13th!
This blogging thing is a first for me. I have been told that a blog is like writing a diary that quite possibly the entire world will read. I have never thought much about exposing my inner thoughts to the world. I find this concept alone to be quite intimidating; not to mention the commitment of an entry every week!
I have made a promise to ‘run the race,’ so since we are to proceed - in an orderly manner – I believe there are some things you need to know about me. First, I am a “techno-dinosaur”. I have one phone in my home and, yes, I never bought the touch-tone alteration – rotary works just fine, thank you very much.
I don’t take to change very well – no that is not fair to myself – I do take to change when I can see the purpose, the logic. But sometimes – I cannot see, cannot understand, where change is leading me and I become quite resistive.
Change is a huge theme throughout the Bible; and, indeed, a call to change is Jesus’ first proclamation in Matt. 4:17. Jesus calls us to “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Repent literally means to change the course that we are on which moves us away from God - to a course that moves us towards God.
I am choosing to do this blog which represents a huge change for me. I wait in excited anticipation to see where God will lead me next week! What are you choosing to change in your life? |
