Writing could be fun. I really have an over-active imagination & so often feel super creatively stirred use it. I find this hard to admit after just finishing years and years of tedious study, and after complaining way too much of having too many essays to write...but I actually really do love writing. I'm actually slightly concerned about the potential for me to get addicted to it. I reckon I might just be excited about this.
I also know that God has been speaking to me SO much over the last few years and has help me understand some pretty amazing things...principles, ideas, perspectives and insights that have literally changed my life...made life so much easier, but SO much more fun too. I know they've had to be God initiated thoughts, cos they're seriously way too incredible for me to have made them up myself. And I feel almost as if it's unfair to keep these life changing thoughts to myself...I get excited by the idea of sharing them with others.
I'm SO passionate about TRUTH and living according to God's design for us...there are just WAY too many lies been thrown at us every single day...we get caught up in mind-sets, perspectives, lifestyles, habits and beliefs that are just so misguided. Like advertising tells me that I NEED a new wardrobe of clothes every season...but do I really? Is there a hole in my cupboard that consumed all my clothes from the last season? Do I really have nothing to wear? Ok I definitely LOVE fashion and get a fairly big thrill out of buying and wearing a new outfit, so I haven't really implemented this new thinking very successfully...but there are so many things we think and do that are just not logical because we haven't stopped to really think about it.
I'm a big fan of breakthrough...the idea that we could discover the lies in our minds that stop us from living in freedom, but only steal our joy...it's the BEST feeling when the light bulb goes on in our minds when we realise that God created joy, freedom, fun and cake, and that we're allowed to experience success, excitement, adventure, confidence, fulfillment and SO many other cool things. In fact He insists we do. Let's embrace it yeah?!!
I've come to realise that God takes us on a journey so we can discover all this truth...oh my goodness what a roller coaster! So far mine has been painful but so exciting at the same time, and I have learnt SO much! Yieeew! And I've only got so much more to learn.
I actually don't mind if I never gain any followers for this blog...cos I kinda feel like writing all this down helps me discover even more truth...revelation just seems to get deeper and deeper every time I think about these things...or talk or write about them. I LOVE it! I used to write in a Word document I called "note to self" so I'd remember these valuable insights...but now it shall be a blog.
And if you are someone reading this blog...I do not take it for granted that I may have the opportunity to encourage, challenge or teach you something. I really pray that you are stirred...that you might find hope you've been looking for...that you are inspired to search for God's purpose for your life and live confidently in it...or that maybe you're just entertained and have some fun with me. I really like laughing.
