This past week has been a particularly difficult time in my spiritual walk. So many times in my past, I would wallow in self-pity. Sometimes I would transfer my frustration to others, including family members. But this time, it was different.

 

Over three days, I spent several hours a day, re-reading these blogs I have written. I was surprised to learn that since late 2013, I have written 501 blogs. We all have our favorite or preferred methods of communication and writing is mine. I have written these blogs to remind myself of God’s provisions. I have written them during times of suffering and joy. During these past few days, I have received great solace in re-reading many of the blogs. They continually remind me of God’s provisions and faithfulness to me throughout my entire life.

 

The blogs are based on all experiences of my life-past and present. I was surprised by the total number of blogs but not by how God has sustained me since the beginning of the writings. I write these blogs during spare moments in the workday. Sometimes, an idea strikes me or a Bible verse inspires me, and I quickly jot down the notes in preparation for later completion of the blog. Whatever the circumstance, God has never failed to inspire me with His Word and how it applies to the circumstances of my life, and this is the true testimony of God’s promises in my life.

 

I am far from perfect but I am willing to continue to submit to God’s Word to continue to conform and transform me into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. I pray that these blogs will give witness to my struggles and how God answers me triumphantly and victoriously.

 

I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds.

Psalms 77:11-12 (ESV)

 

Love and trust the Lord; seek His will in your life.
