Why this Blog?
I just started this blog, which is one of the hardest things I have had to do. Many people have asked me, why. The answer is simply this: obedience. While in House Church (some people call them small groups) on a Tuesday night, the Elder over the House Church asked me was I writing. I looked at her increduously, and stated no. Her response was “Why not? God has given you the ability to research, experience, and teach. You should have written a book by now, write.”
In the back of my mind, I thought Elder has lost her mind. I hate to write. A week went passed, and I prayed about it. Well, truthfully, I prayed, “God if this was not for me to do, give me another assignment. Make this feeling of disobedience go away.” Nevertheless, it didn’t go away. In fact it increased. So, I figured I’ll blog. I opened an account with WordPress sometime in 2009, but couldn’t figure out what to do with it. So now I’m back.
I still hate to write, but at least the ideas are now flowing. So forgive me if the grammar, syntax, or sentence structure isn’t the best. Hey, I was an engineer. I know that isn’t an excuse; but hopefully, I’ll get better. My ultimate goal is to let God shine through me, and in that be able to grow more in Him.
Obedience. It is so hard sometimes, especially doing something that you don’t want to do, with the right heart. Those who know me in “real” life, know that I love to praise and worship God in all that I do. Apostle John Stevenson gave me his definition of worship that God brought to my remembrance through the struggle of writing this blog. Apostle Stevenson’s definition is one who is intimately acquainted with, and has a daily relationship with God exhibited through obedience.
That definition got me, especially the last piece. Obedience. So this blog is done out of obedience to God, to my House Church Elder, my Pastors.
