God wants me to blog

Does that sound weird to you? It sure sounds weird to me. I wrote, in a previous post, that I felt that God had put this on my heart and since then I have really questioned that. Is God really leading me to put the struggles and triumphs of life and my walk with Him out there for others to read or am I just hopping on the blog band wagon? I honestly don't know if God thinks this is a wise use of my time, but here is what I do know:

  1. God wants me to share His love with others.
  2. At this point in my life, I can't just walk up to someone and say, "Let me tell you about Jesus...".
  3. I have been comforted and inspired while reading other blogs, specifically As We Are and The Ingram Gang.
  4. I am encouraged when I hear that other believers struggle with the same doubts and fears that I do.

And here is what I hope:

  1. Reading about my struggles might encourage someone in their own walk.
  2. Blogging will allow me to get to a place where I feel comfortable talking about my faith in person.
  3. God will be pleased with my 21st century way of spreading the good news of His love and grace.

    Perfect. I think you are doing a great thing. I know blogging also helps me write down things I am working through, and then afterwards I get some great spiritual encouragement from other believers. I think you are a great writer! Really good with words. As far as the doubt that comes, I think we all get that do a point. We are just too stinkin hard on ourselves. Why is that?

    Thanks so much! That means a lot coming from you because I think you are an amazing writer. I enjoy your blog so much! You are right. We are all way too hard on ourselves. That is why encouraging each other is so important. :)
