to start out
as my first entry, i have been racking my brain for cool ways to make it potent..but i think that i would just like to ramble for the time being. i love being able to catch up with friends--old and new--via online journals and our wonderful invention called the internet. i have to laugh at the fact that these friends may not even be aware of my catching up with them, because it consists merely of reading their posts.
i love writers. i think it is such a unique gift. upon graduating 1st grade, we all have the manual capacity to actually put literal words on a piece of paper, but to be able to eloquently illustrate what your mind is saying is a different story. i especially like when i can relate to the writer--like when i find myself having to say aloud, "i know!" or "that's exactly what i was thinking..." cool, how the Lord makes us--or some of His creation--that way.
nowadays, the Lord just amazes me. it is so cool to actually see evidence of Him fighting for me. at points it seems to be a more aggressive battle. certain temptations that call my name are silenced when God just throws something along that path of destruction to prevent me from falling into that temptation. how humbling to be able to serve a God that cannot be manipulated by vile schemes and agendas. that enemy is not trying to hurt me, or make me sick, or depress me; his assignment is to devour me, to wipe me out, to kill me. if anyone is able to defend me, it is my Almighty Lord. and i like the fact that when God fights, He always wins.
i think i will go and think about this some more...
