The Journey Begins

How does one even start a blog? I guess, in my mind, it should start with a bang, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that it is just a struggle to start.

Lets take the plunge and get this thing started.

I decided to start blogging because I wanted to keep a running journal of the journey and process I am going through as a Christian.

My mornings usually start around 4:30 AM and I am on the road to get to work an hour later. My usual commute takes me at least an hour so I get a lot of time to spend listening to the Word and praying. This morning was no different, but in a way it was unusual. As I was praying, God dropped a vision into my mind. I know that that sounds strange, but I believe that God has always communicated with His people, whether it be through His Word, and audible voice, visions, or a myriad of other ways. Anyway, He showed me something in my future that I know I can't fulfill in my own power, so I will have to totally trust Him to give me the wisdom and understanding, along with the opportunity.

Now, the opportunity is the hard part because I am in no way in a position to do what He showed me. So, I started praying and basically said this, "God, if this is what You want from me, You will have to open the door. You will have to open the heart and mind of someone who will then invite me to do what you showed me. To do what you showed me is something that I am physically able to do, but way out of my comfort level, so please give me Your strength and wisdom. Help me to be a living sacrifice to Your will and Your leading."

I know that this is rather vague of me to start a blog with, but I hope, in the near future to be able to write more that will lay this out more clearly.

God Bless and have a wonderful day.
