“You should write…”

 

 

Exodus 17:14
  After the victory, the LORD instructed Moses, “Write this down on a scroll as a permanent reminder, and read it aloud to Joshua: I will erase the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

 

Just what you wanted, another blog to read!  LOL

There have been times in my life when I didn’t feel that I had anything to say that anyone would want to hear or read.  I was not always a confident person.  As a matter of fact, in high school, I did not come out of my shell until my senior year.

Over the past couple of years, several people have said, “You should write this ‘stuff’ down.”   And for quite a while I resisted.  Finally about two weeks ago, I felt like God was leading me to sit down and put some of my thoughts about my life and experiences on paper.  Hopefully someone will read it!

So, the purpose of this blog is to share my life experience and how God has brought me through so much, including divorce and the death of a spouse.  It may be that no one except my son reads it, but if he is the only one who does read it, then it will have been worth the effort.  By the way, my son, Nate, is the apple of my eye and I love him dearly!  He is the best combination of his dad and me, and I am the proudest mom a son could have.

This verse from Exodus 17 says, “After the victory, the Lord instructed Moses, Write this down on a scroll as a permanent reminder…”  That’s what I want to do.  I want to be reminded of the victories that I have received from the Lord.  He has brought me so much, and remembering them builds my faith.  Hopefully by you reading it, it will also build your faith and encourage you.

So thanks for reading, and please send me your comments.  Hopefully, you will laugh, cry, be encouraged, and be blessed!
