Today I begin to BLOG! I have been telling, asking, pleading for my wonderful hubby to begin a blog because he is such a great writer. He is so busy and has not started one yet, so as an encouragement, I thought I would begin one to see how much time is required and yes, it is good for the thinking processes and to clarify my own thoughts and musings. So today I begin!!! I must thank my sweet friend Melanie for encouraging me to do this and for 'walking' me through the starting process of just doing it!!! She has a blog also, check it out *after I learn how to link to it...ha* So here I sit at the computer typing away asking myself what, if anything, do I have to say?
My blogs will be short and pithy and encouraging I hope. So for today I ask "What do you think about when you have free time?" I mean when you are not accomplishing a task, teaching or talking to your hubby or children, where does your mind go?? We all have empty spaces of time to 'think'. What do you think about during those times? I used to be a daydreamer...."what if" kind of things. I am learning to bring my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus. Not an easy task...yet one I want so much. I am learning!!! I am gaining!!! By HIS GRACE, I am taking baby steps! I now even ask what HE wants me to think about and then I 'wait' for HIS answer....crazy huh? Try it, you might be surprised!!!! Signing off for now ~ Love and hugs, Sherry

Wow!!! This is AWESOME!!! I am so very proud of you and I can't wait to read your blog. You are always so encouraging, and I am so excited to watch the Lord working through you in so many ways. I appreciate how you always seek to empty yourself and let Him fill you. Happy blogging!!
ReplyDeleteI have pondered doing a blog too, but thought my thoughts weren't really worth putting on a blog. This is neat! I'd love to stop by and read. There is another pastor's wife blog that I find so uplifting. Thanks for your encouragement.
ReplyDeleteSherry - this is WONDERFUL! I am always so encouraged by your FB statuses, and I'm really looking forward to reading what you share on y our blog!
ReplyDeleteI've been sitting here thinking about what I think about when I'm "thinking". I, too, want to take every thought captive, but so often I find myself worrying about all of the things I need to accomplish and often find it hard to even just sit and take time to just be in God's presence when I have moments of quiet. I'm praying about this one - hoping God does a work of grace on me in this area.
Thank you for your encouragement in this post! It was a great way to start my day.
Love,
Sarah
Hooray! Another blog to read.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you are starting a blog! You are so full of love and passion for the Lord which spills over in your encouragement to others. I am sure you will love writing little snippets. I love writing on my blog even though it is more of a family scrapbook instead of an outlet to put down thoughts for others to read.
