ABOUT

A Work in Progress

If I told you the only reason I started a blog was because God told me to, would you believe me? Would you laugh at the idea of an unfathomable, transient Being contemplating, caring for or calling to control the paltry musings of a nobody? Does it make your lip curl upwards a bit unnaturally when you hear that someone was seemingly "hearing" this mystical Being's direction or opinion?

​

Phew! Good! I thought I was the only one!

​

I never got it and I still don't, for the most bit. This is just an act of blind obedience, trusting there is purpose behind it that I don't see now. I write sometimes when I'm told to but mostly when I struggle. Through the desperate tears, hopeless pleas and broken prayers, He forges comprehension. Ever so small, ever so simple but always sufficient.

So if you stumbled here and received the slightest encouragement in your pursuit to know Him, I ask for nothing more. And you can thank God for it because I don't claim any of what you read here as coming from my own intelligence or discernment. 

You may have noticed the numbers 47 here and there. Those numbers have always stuck with me but for not particular reason. Today though, I read John 4:7 - When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her,"Will you give me a drink?"- and there is no better description of me to go into the 'About' page than that. I am the tainted Samaritan woman that the God of the Universe sat beside and struck up a conversation with just so He could give her the Living Water that she so desperately searched for!

And if you stumbled here and agreed with the first few sentences and nothing else, I read this as well today - "I had a notion that somehow, besides questing, I was being pursued…night after night, feeling whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England.” - C.S.Lewis. Know that you are not alone in the act of pursuing. He pursues too. Passionately, relentlessly. And if you are a genuine seeker, pursuing the truth, this same Being I speak of assures, you will find the Truth and the Truth will set you free!
