In the Game ...

For several years now, I have kept a prayer journal. I make all my entries by pencil (with a pencil sharpener nearby at all times) in a regular spiral-bound notebook, and I usually make them after reading the Word and asking the Holy Spirit to fill my heart. I think I'm on my third notebook.

It's amazing to go back in time, through my journal entries, and see where I was on a given day ... what was on my heart ... what kind of insights I had ... and how God chose to answer me, or not answer me.

I sometimes receive wonderful insights about scripture that I am very sure is due to the Holy Spirit opening my eyes and heart to the truth I am reading. Recently, I began to wonder if I should be connecting with other believers and sharing these insights and thoughts, and generally entering in conversations with like-minded brothers and sisters.

So, that's what this blog is about. In the immediate future, I will go through my journal entries and look for relevant insights and observations to share, always first consulting the Holy Spirit and asking for God's guidance. I can think of at least a good handful of entries I'll want to share.

From there, I will then go "live" and make entries as they occur to me, and relay experiences that open my eyes to God's hand in my life.

I look forward to connecting with other bloggers, so if you come across this and want to connect, please be sure to leave a comment.
