My First Post

So I have decided to become a blogger.  Originally my goal was to write a book, and I still plan to do that, but today it occurred to me to start a blog.  I have no idea what will happen with this but I am confident that the things I have learned at the feet of Jesus are things I am supposed to share.  I have been seriously studying the Bible for ten years and I have always kept the teachings from God to myself.  I didn't want to brag or be a show off so they stayed with me and sometimes, my family.  Like eveyone else, I have issues that I have struggled with like insecurity, pride, selfishness, and shame with the first two being my biggest.  I was so insecure that I made up a list of rigid rules that I lived by for many years.  I could only feel good about myself when I kept my rules. 

But this year, God has been doing some very amazing things in me.  He asked me to give Him my rules, my opinions and my independence in exchange for His freedom.  And I did.  What has happened in me during this time is a miracle to say the least.  I am discovering a life full of joy and peace where I am content and satisfied with myself and my life without MY rules.

So now, it is time for me to make public what I have learned along the way.  I knew in 2003 that I would one day share what God was teaching me but I had no idea how that would happen.  Today, I have a much clearer picture and this blog is my first step in that direction.  I have been working on a book for the last year about living with God first in your life.  What does a life with God first look like?  How do you get there?  

Well, let me first say that your relationship with God must go through Jesus Christ.  The Bible says the only way to God is through Christ.  No one can come to God without going through Jesus (John 14:6 The Amplified Bible). Period. End of that discussion.  The next important thing to keep in mind is that your relationship with God is unique to you.  As believers in Jesus Christ, we all have some similarities but we are also individually made by the hand of God (Eph. 2:10 The Amplified Bible) and therefore, our relationship with Him will be our own.  There is no cookie cutter mold to fill.  You live your life with God.  Do not compare your progress or abilities with anyone else.  Discover God for yourself.

I will stop here for now.  FYI: Because of my work schedule, I may post more than once a day for a few days and then nothing for a few more.  Keep checking back for new posts.

You are in my prayers,
Heidirn

  1. Wow you have shared so much in a very few words here. I think this is a great way to start what it is God has for you to finish. Isn't it funny how so many of us (myself included) struggle with the very same things you mention here. Thank you for the insight and I cannot wait to read more!
