I love to write. It is how I make sense of my life and sometimes how God speaks to me. I have kept a journal since my freshmen year in high school and although I have wanted to blog I haven't really got around to, consistently at least. Until recently Hailey Jones started blogging (http://clockworkphotography.blogspot.com/) (read it!) and encouraged me to. So this is it (hopefully) and I’m going to try to be consistent because it keeps me accountable for searching for His voice. Although I can’t promise anything. I’m not sure you really care how consistent I am, I’m not sure who “you” really is, but it doesn’t matter. I just need to write, for me, and if someone else reads it then great, I hope that at least a little something sticks with them, and if no one reads it, thats fine to. But I say all that to say that when I say “you” or “we” I’m not talking down to anyone, or think that I have all this figured out, by any means. I’m reminding myself of the lessons God is teaching me, if anything because I am first and foremost a mess, and I am a work in progress.
And if someone else benefits from the words I write, its Him, not me. Because my words are human and fail, but His words- they are perfect. They last, forever. I can only pray the two may at least be intertwined at some point through these blogs.
Finally, the blog is entitled “By His Grace” because I truly believe Grace is the basis for our very existence. It’s implications and benefits extend far beyond comprehension. It’s been on my heart ever since I read The Ragamuffin Gospel and went to Kadesh after my junior year where the theme was Grace. Ask me about it sometime. Only if you have time on your hands that is..
