Everyone has been told the meaning behind my name, Wiwohka, but I will point to the picture up above for a quick reminder. It means rushing or raging water… I am a rather loud talker, as well as being very animated and passionate while I express myself to others. Simply put, I am too much for most people to handle.

Blogging is a way for me to tell others how I feel and think, without being too much. I am not being flippant, nor am I being down on myself or others. I am being honest. My phone has four numbers that are incoming or outgoing… my husband, my Chica, and two other sweet friends… that’s it! I am actually acclimated to this way of life, as it did not get this way overnight.

As a small child I asked for help and was denied, growing up I spoke my mind and was called disrespectful. Granted I was probably a smart mouth when I said certain things, but it was still the truth. I talked my way right out of my first marriage. Throughout my life I discovered that even though you tell the truth, much of the time it is not what others wish to hear. I am very opinionated and when I believe something, I own it! I AM CHATTY CATHY!

Why do I blog?

We are human, made in the image of God! We were designed NOT to be alone. Why do you think that is? God loves us and needs our attention and love in return. That’s why He is always whispering to us… trying to fellowship with us. He wants us to talk to Him as well. We are just like Him in this need, and being able to talk and laugh with others is a fulfilling thing in life. I need to talk, laugh, and fellowship with others, but my options are limited.

But, why do I blog?

If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, as the phrase goes, I will go to the Mountain! I can blog for as long as I wish each day, and I have wonderful and enriching conversations with others here in WordPress. I am discovering lives and stories from all over the world, as it seems I am not the only one doing this sort of thing.

For myself, I have an insatiable need to be a part of the body of Christ… to find where I belong, to be a part of His purpose! If I am to share what God has done for my life, and what He wants to do for all of us, I need an outlet! If no one likes the sound of my voice, fine! I will let my fingers do the talking, if it seems less threatening or easier to accept. The door to my virtual lobby is always open, so no one feels held hostage for my Jesus Talks… you can take it or leave it with no harsh rejections.

Really… Why do I blog?

Because I am a broken vessel, filled with His Holy Spirit… I am compelled to tell everyone of what has been done for me, what I have seen and survived because of HIM… I wanna talk about Jesus and I needed a plug in! Thank you from the bottom of my heart WordPress, and I am not being sarcastic… Thank You, and God Bless You for allowing me the opportunity to give love to anyone who needs it!

There was a time when I was done… finished… I desperately wanted to go HOME, in the literal sense… yes, even Christians in their brokenness, have taken their own lives. It happens! Writing was my attempt at making sense of my choices at that time. I have written all my life, but not at a deep level at all. I had so much damage done to me, deep writing always brought the memories… the nightmares.

Long story short, if you ever go back into the archives and read My Truths, you will see the journey that brought me to blogging. I now have a purpose, a reason to drag myself out of bed each morning. I made the commitment to God, and to you, that everything I write on this blog should be edifying, uplifting, and good for whomever stumbles upon this site.

God actually used WordPress to help me focus on the needs of others, bringing me the joy I was seeking all my life.

Why do I blog?

I get joy, fulfillment, and purpose out of writing to YOU!
