This morning I woke up thinking, if it were required that we give a two or three word phrase for describing our blog site, what would I choose? So I wake up with weird thoughts in my head, so what… don’t judge!

Anyway, I lay there pondering this question for only a few minutes, when I had my answer. If I had to choose a descriptive phrase for what I hope my blog site reflects, it would be this,

The Jesus Tree!

As I already have a massive tree in the middle of the lobby, and everyone knows that it always offers living water for any who enter, the answer wasn’t hard for me to find!

Oh, I’m not wishing for you to think that I mean I am a Jesus tree… well, I suppose in a way I am, if you consider the vine and the branches part of scripture. What I am hoping that the blog site reflects, is who dwells within the writings I put into the feed.

The title of the site says Journey With Me, because I write things live each day from right where I am in the journey that God has been carrying me through! But what does the site reflect to you, the reader?

Is it me, or is it God… or what if it’s both?

I suppose you get a bit of each, but my hope is that what you really see is Jesus, overall! My desire, is for you to be covered with the mercy and grace of the Most High God, each and every time you visit the page… otherwise, what would be the point?

I write because I love God and I want to speak His truths, at all times! My efforts should not be used for receiving a pat on the back, nor a dollar for my time. If that were the case, I would have quit writing on the blog long ago!

In honesty, when first I began to write on WordPress, nearly nine years ago, my reasons for doing it were much different than they are now.

Actually, when I tried to think back on when this site began, I cannot fully say why I began doing it. Maybe that’s why, after only four or five months and less than a dozen entries, writer’s block hit me and buried my words for nearly six years! I had no purpose…

When I started back to writing last February, it was out of desperation, for what I refer to as a poor man’s version of therapy!

Can you believe how much God has transformed my life, in only a year and a half?! The site theme was a perfect choice, as I’m hoping that what you see is my journey, not me… what God has done, not anything I’ve accomplished by my own hands!

If we looked at that stuff, you wouldn’t like me very much, as I’ve hopefully shown you through my Ripple in the Pond stories. Those are not just stories, they are my sorrowful memories of my own folly, my own failures and flaws.

So, long story short, when I was laying there this morning thinking about the blog, I suppose I would rather folks consider my site like The Jesus Tree, looking at what God has done… rather than She Sure Talks About Herself a Lot, wasting everyone’s time.

Having rambled on long enough about how I woke up this morning, it’s Sunday, and we should all be resting. Hopefully, you find yourselves fellowshipping with family and friends today.

Here’s a Virtual Potluck, on me!

I pray that God would bless and watch over each and every one of you along your journey, just as he does over mine…

Hugs
