Like A Beacon of Light............

Is this photograph not spectacular?
I have been spending much time this last month trying to re think how my life has been going. I found out two things for sure:
1. I have not been listening, I have heard but not really listened to what I have been learning. I have begun to see how if one really listens to what others tell you you actually do begin to learn, to understand.

2. Faith is a two way street. I have been kicking myself senseless to learn what it is, how to have it, did I have it and how do I make it work? Well this morning thanks to a few wonderful pastors on TV I finally fianlly got it. What a sense of peace, I have faith ... honest to God real faith!

Just the two of these things have made me see I can survive anything, I do not have to be scared about my future. And I do not have to wallow in my past either.

This has been a big thing for me as well... speaking openly about my relationship with God, here on this blog without fearing my readers reactions.

I have been praying about being able to get this blog as well as the others to a place where I felt comfortable speaking about my faith. Now is the time.

So, I hope with all my heart that you will feel okay about my posts where I speak about how I feel about God, what I learn from Him. I can not and will no longer stay away from the subject. What ever success I have with this blog and anything else I do in my life comes from Him and this blog belongs to Him. I am just it's caretaker for a while.

I do not see this affecting anything I post here, as I have always tried to be respectful of people. I just need to be able to give Him the credit, to thank Him every day for all he has done for me.

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God :-) and I have all faith that this blog and all I put my hands to in this coming year will be fantastic.
