Let the Journey Begin...

“The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.”

  ~Norbet Platt~

It is in this same spirit, I write this blog. I am embarking on this journey merely hoping to document the thoughts and echoes of my heart in way that might spark moments of pause and deeper thought. I am not claiming any status for myself or my writing, just the need to write in order to purge the thoughts and desires God has put so heavily on my heart. I invite you to follow along in my journey, if you’d like. If not, I wish you joy in your use of time otherwise.

I am excited as I think of the opportunity to alleviate the many thoughts that run freely through the catacombs of my mind. I am excited to share the truths and challenges that God places in my path every day. I am also excited to hear what others might think about these rantings offered up by this humble vessel. Please don’t misunderstand me, I am not looking for critics, although I welcome truth and correction spoken in love, but rather I am looking for voices of kinship; hoping to hear confirmation in struggles and triumphs. It is a belief of mine, that one of the best tools the enemy has against us, is that of isolation. If we believe we are alone, we are more likely to doubt, thereby more likely to act out of flesh. If we are aware of those around us, aware of how the fall has negatively affected all of us, we can bond together and share each other’s burdens as Christ intended. This blog represents my sharing about the mark left by the yoke I so dutifully try to carry; these writings are my documentation of my struggling in the war of losing self versus gaining life. Join me in searching out the truth in a world of lies.

It is here I feel the need to leave this disclaimer. I do not claim to have all the answers, nor am I wise enough to claim I can see exactly how every situation is to be handled or interpreted. I am just relaying my thoughts on matters and testing them against the word left by the One who does have the answers to all of life’s situations. I am just a fool trying to create sidewalk art that resembles a Monett.

Welcome to my search for God’s truth. I’m sure it will be a rocky and treacherous adventure, but one geared toward knowing the Creator more intimately. May God bless the journey!

Expectantly,

RDM
