I randomly decided to begin a blog tonight. Then again, maybe not so random. The idea has crossed my my mind many times, but I haven’t acted on the thought until now. And why did I choose to start one tonight? I suppose because I have thoughts spinning through my mind that no longer will fit in my brain. Thoughts that deserve a place in the light, not the dark corner of a private journal that will be read by no one but me.
Not that I have anything spectacular or out of the ordinary to say. I am just an ordinary girl. Yet, a girl made special and unique by my Heavenly Father. I have a heart, mind and voice created by Him. Thus, it is because of Him that I have anything worthwhile to share.
“Hiding in the Light” is a phrase I came across some time ago while reading a book called “Love has a Face.” It is the story of one woman who obeyed God’s call and left comfort behind to open a children’s home in the red dirt of war torn Sudan. She came to see that the safest place to hide from danger was the light of God’s presence. If we are resting completely in Him, no darkness can penetrate that light. And as we hide in His light we shine for those around us in the darkness.
Tonight marks the beginning of a part of me coming to the light. The start of sharing little bits and pieces of what whirls through my mind. The words now have an outlet and a place to land. They can serve a purpose. I am officially a blogger.
