Hello all!
So, I've decided to join the blogosphere. The title of my blog comes from Psalm 40:3 "He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. May will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord." That pretty much sums up my hopes for my writing.
When I was doing my Bible study the other day, God showed me something pretty awesome. I was reading 2 Samuel 1:1-16. It's the part where David learns about Saul's death. What struck me about it was how Saul, Johnathan, and that Amalekite who said he killed Saul were all just part of God's plan to make David king and restore Israel to peace and wholeness. Then I was thinking about how I'm just a part of God's plan to make Jesus king and restore the whole world to peace and wholeness. And then (this is the good part), I started thinking about how, although I am just part of the plan, I'm a REALLY important part. I have never existed before, and I never will again. My personality and circumstances are unique to me. That means that I can reflect truths about who God is in a way that no one else did, can, or ever will be able to. And that is pretty amazing. I may be just a small part in God's story, but it's a significant part. I mean, I actually help advance the plot!
The same is true about each one of us that call Jesus Lord. In getting to know you, I'm also getting to know Jesus better. And in getting to know me, you're getting to know Jesus better, too.
And so, I decided to write a blog. If my life is showing who God is in a way that no one else's can, I'm really excited to share that with you all!
