Why a blog?

Many days, I feel I have something worthwhile to say, something God wants me to share. Our testimonies should not be hidden under a bushel, but screamed from the rooftops.  Ultimately, I would like to write a book for Him. That seems a Herculean task so I am starting here. 

My life has been a rose garden, complete with thorns.  Thorns can be painful, but they also make us who we are.  Thorns are part of some of the most beautiful flowers in the world. Even when my rose garden had more in common with a cactus field than it did the Garden of Eden, I felt God with me.  Christ is always with you, too.

I also have found that posting these types of messages in forums such as Facebook is alienating some of those who I would most like to reach.  I desperately want to keep that communication open. They can choose to explore these additional writings when their hearts are ready.  

So, God has called me to share, to write.  Here I am.  Trying to be as obedient as Noah.

And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him. Gen. 7:5, NIV
