Prequel
Where to start…
First of all let me say that I am resistant to start a blog, not that I don’t have a lot of ideas or opinions, in fact I have too many. I wouldn’t even say that is bad in of itself, its just that I tend to think my ideas are really good, all the time, and that’s pride. So to combat my pride I have resisted blogging since I had a friend first mention it years ago, after a rather long “religious” conversation. But, I realize in my “defeating pride” I am just being proud and lazy. I still think my ideas are the best, but I’m too lazy to type them out, and not willing to take a rebuke if I go off on tangents.
So, this is the starting point, please rebuke me if necessary, as critics can be the best coaches, and lets open this up with some prayer.
Jesus, make your name known. I ask, Lord remove my thoughts and ideas, and let the words you’ve given me come out unstained by the ridiculous desires of my heart. Lord, who am I, but a sinner saved by your grace. I do not deserve to know you, I have done nothing to seek you, and often I have resisted your undeniable presence in my life. Forgive me again, and let this be a place where the work and words you are accomplishing reign. Let me be a mouth crying out in the wilderness, for you and only you Jesus.
Amen
