Why Blog?

I've decided to start blogging. I don't really feel like what I have to say is of much (if any) importance, but I think this will be good for me. 


I plan on blogging about what I'm learning from a book I'm reading and a woman I'm reading it with. I'm reading Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster with Abigail Chen and couldn't be more excited. I plan on going through this fairly slow in order to really grasp each concept and apply it to my life, so bear with me. Being under the leadership of The Village for three years and hearing how important it is to pursue multi-generational community, I've grown to passionately desire a mentor and/or someone to disciple me. Someone in a different stage of life that I can learn from and be a blessing to. Only recently has the Lord shown me my need for this and placed someone in my life to accomplish it. I am so grateful.


I'm not a writer and I'm not very articulate with words; I'm articulate with movement, so this will be a challenge for me - but it's a challenge I'm ready for. Most of it (I'm assuming) will be quotes and my thoughts in response to them, but we'll see what happens.


I need to be held more accountable in my life to the way I pursue Jesus and apply His word to my life. My prayer is that I would be humbled and changed and that this might be seen in how I live. 


I agree with what my good friend, Liz, said just the other day. "I want to know His voice like His sheep know His voice. Not just feel or guess but really know."
