"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."-1 Peter 3:15.
Hello everyone. Thank you very much for reading!
I feel called by God to write this blog. At my church, we had a small group "blog" for the women in the congregation. I wrote on the blog because I enjoy participating in small groups and I enjoyed reading what others had to say about the book we were all reading together. Many of the women were older than me, but every week, someone came up to me and told me that I encouraged them through my words. I was not really trying to encourage others. I simply was responding to the book we had to read.
I have learned that sometimes we do not need to use words to communicate encouragement and appreciation. Just being yourself and being content with life is a good way to encourage others. I feel like my experiences serve as a testimony to others. The ways in which God has brought me through the trials is something that I need to share. God has given me the desire to write and to encourage. It is my greatest desire to combine my love for writing and my call to encourage others.
As the Bible verse suggests, we must always be ready to share the hope that we have in Christ. Why do I believe in God? Why should I continue fighting when I feel like life is way too difficult for me? I hope that through this blog I can answer these questions in light of what God has done in my life.
I am praying that this blog touches your heart. God bless you. ♥
