And so it begins

My wonderful husband,  bought me a new laptop, and has encouraged me to begin writing again. As a short aside, I used to write quite often, mostly poetry and a few songs, but within the lot, there have been a few stories, letters and the like. The thought that anyone would have an interest in what I have to say is challenging to my way of thinking. It has been said of me on more than one occasion that I have an opinion about almost every topic. However, there are other things in life (most, if you want my thoughts on the matter) that I know only a few things about and I stay quiet about those subjects. For the topics I know little about, I like to say, that I have enough information to be dangerous, but not enough information to productive in conversation or deed so I remain silent. But I digress.
My passion for learning has become quite focused in recent years. I find it most boring to learn about or research anything that has little or nothing to do with eternity. On the other hand, I find it most interesting to read, research, chat, write, talk about and pour my life into the things of God and HIS plan for my eternity with Christ. But how does that affect my life right here, right now? I know that Christ has gifted all believers through the Holy Spirit (as He chooses to gift us).
There is nothing in my mind that is more interesting than knowing that Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, My Savior lives inside me and God has put this wonderful mystery to work in my life on a daily basis. It is my responsibility (my response to HIS Ability as Wayne Austin http://www.healingplacechurch.org/ , used to say) to be obedient in following that urge, that up from under desire to walk in and spread that very goodness to those who light my world.
So now I come back to this question, what is it that at 47, I am to do with this wonderful desire to write inside of me, this baby in my spiritual womb? If I parallel this to something in the natural and physical world, I could begin thinking in a natural way, but this is not a natural thing for me. Who would want to write about their life and put it out there for all to see (if any are indeed watching or reading)? So I really cannot approach this desire of writing life lessons, mistakes I've made, past regrets, incredible insight, deep passion for the things of God with pure natural insight, it must be with an intent that comes with what cannot be seen or touched. Perhaps my love for the things of God and my love for writing will marry right here before my very eyes.
The first miracle that Christ performed was turning the water into wine, and I do believe that me beginning to write this blog is a miracle. So I am going to name my blog "Water N2 Wine", because for me, it is exactly that.
I pray that The Holy Spirit will take my words of water and turn them into wine for you, and so that anyone stopping by with a thirst can drink in of God's goodness and their thirst will be quenched. I also pray that by reading my blog you develop a thirst for God's word and you begin to seek out his perfect wine, in his Word, the Bible.
Make it your BEST day ever!
