I'm not a writer by nature. I wouldn't say it's a natural talent for me, or even something that I thoroughly enjoy. I am not disciplined in writing regularly for the sake of informing others, for pleasure, or even journaling. I enjoy books, but seem to have trouble expressing my thoughts with the same attractive articulation that other authors intrigue me with. I am however obedient. I am a woman of passion. I am a follower of Jesus. I am committed to His will for my life. And I believe that the fire that burns in me is a passion ignited for women of Christ. In the past year a spark has been lit, and has made my heart race as if I'm dynamite just waiting to explode. I've experienced real friendships, real relationships, real women- and I have loved every moment of it all! I have felt no greater joy in my life than the joy I feel fellowshipping with other women. And my passion is not just to to enjoy them, and have fun, but it is to love them. To really love them. To get to know them, serve them, listen to them, and to draw them together to get to know not only eachother, but the Spirit of God that is within them. I have found that women of Christ joining together creates a powerful light that shines so brightly that it's catching people's attention. It's changing people's lives. It's the light of the Lord Jesus. It's contagious, and it's getting brighter and spreading further. This Marvelous Spirit cannot be contained and it will not be contained. It is wild fire. And these women who have lived it will testify. They have testified. They are growing spiritually. They are supported, loved, held accountable, learning, and they are experiencing joy even in the midst of great trials! They are daughters of the Most High King- Jesus. They are my best friends. And God has given me a servant position. Yes, I have the pleasure of serving these Women of Christian faith! Who am I to receive such an honor? I can't explain that. But, I do know this, like the light of the Lord in their hearts and mine, I cannot let my fear of poor articulation or creativity prevent me from holding captive what God is revealing to me. I cannot and will not keep God's Glory for myself to see. It wouldn't be fair to withhold the opportunity for such joy (that you can experience too) from anyone! It's too great, and it's too glorious and wonderful. And so for that, I will lay down my pride. I will dismiss the fear of being a boring writer, and rely on the Lord to speak through my writing. I want to share with you, my testimonies, my joys, my encouragement through the trials. I want to share with you- my Loving, Almighty, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, All-knowing, Gracious, Saving, God.
You will love Him and when you meet him- even rising on the wings of dawn will not separate you from His Spirit. Nothing will. Wherever you are, His hand will guide you and hold you. It's His promise.
