Why did I finally give in and start blogging?
I really just needed an outlet to expression issues. Sometimes I might write about somethig I talk about with everyone in my life. Other times I might write about something I feel as if I cannot discuss with anyone else. This is honestly an outlet for me to let out all I bottle up... at least I hope that is what it becomes.
If you noticed the "tagline" of this blogs says "Log of My Relationships and Journey." The reason for that tag is simple, my life is a journey consisting of many relationships.
I am a Christian. I am on a journey in this life, as we all are on a journey. According to Webster.com the noun journey is defined as:
1 : an act or instance of traveling from one place to another : trip
2 chiefly dialect : a day's travel
3 : something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another
Whether or you share my beliefs, you cannot deny the fact that life is a journey. We are all traveling from one point to the other. The point which I travel towards is very specific. It is based on my relationship with God.
RELATIONSHIP? That's right. A lot of people, I feel, do not realize that Jesus example of how to live on this earth was based on relationships. He had relationships with not only his followers, friends, family on this earth, but also with God.
Since the day I realized ALL the Lord has done for me in my life, I decided I wanted to serve Him. [I will fill you in on God's amazing work in my life at another time.] I have taken on the mindset of being a Christ Follower, a.k.a. Christian. Honestly, I have not been the best example of this all the time.
Lately, I have been thinking, in order to be more effecting my mission to be more like Christ, I need to have mission statement. As I tried to make my life statement, I kept thinking it needed to be something long and complicated. I, however, talked with a wise man who he told me to keep it short and simple. He told me make sure it is something I use as a filter for all my life decisions.
Around that time, I also ran across a verse. After reading that verse, I decided I wanted those words put on my tombstone when I die. The verse comes from John 17. In this section, Jesus talked to God right before his arrest which led to his death. Jesus says, "I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do." John 17:4 ESV
After, I came to the conclusion of what I want to say at the end of this relationship journey here on this earth, I finally knew my mission statement.
I want this blog to be a chronicle of my life journey and relationships. I want to be as honest as possible here. I pray that all I do will be a reflection of my goal to live out my mission statement.
