Okay, so I've been trying to begin a blog for a long time, but I'm not sure where to start. I'll be totally honest... I have no idea what I'm doing! I haven't done a ton of research on blogging, I'm not really sure where to begin, which direction I want to go with this blog and quite frankly, I don't know if I really want to share my thoughts with other people who may end up totally misunderstanding, taking my words out of context, or judging me!
You see, actually, I'm kind of torn about the whole thing. I know that the Lord has been leading me in this direction, and by faith, I'm trying to walk in it. I'm the type of person who likes to be prepared. I like having all my ducks in a row before crossing the street (bad combination of analogies, but I hope you get the picture). But lately I've been (re)learning that sometimes obedience comes first before the understanding. I don't really understand what I'm supposed to blog about, only that the Lord is wanting me to blog. So I'm trying to walk in obedience to that.
There are two scripture verses that keep coming to mind when I think about blogging. First, I'm reminded of Psalm 119:105 "Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." It doesn't say that it's a spotlight that shines a mile down the road. It says it's a lamp for my feet. It shines only enough light for me to see the next step ahead of me. I want to know where this path will lead because I want control of it, but God keeps reassuring me that He knows what He's doing and I just need to trust Him, and follow in obedience. The second verse that comes to mind for me is found in Luke 16:10a which says "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much." I don't know where blogging will lead, but I want to be faithful in it. As feeble as my attempts may be, I am going to try to be consistent in writing something. So here goes nothing...
Pray for me as I begin this journey!
 
I will be praying for you Hannah :) Amanda, from A Royal Daughter has loads of information about blogging intentionally and all sorts of technical information too. If you are on facebook they have a desire to inspire group that is really good for support, might be helpful. Look forward to seeing your heart pour out on this blog and for it to bless other women.
