It wasn’t my idea to write this
blog. While praying about teaching a class, the idea to write
mini-lessons as blog posts dropped into my spirit. I thought I would
write, have others edit. I wouldn’t have a timeline so my efforts would
make it to the blog when they were finally well-written. That was my
plan.
As I started writing, the Holy
Spirit gave me His plan. I was to post often and immediately – just put
the ideas out there. So what if the wording and grammar were rough, I
could fix it later if at all. My ego was not allowed to be involved in
this blog. I was not to include other people’s stories in my posts. I
wasn’t to teach and certainly not preach. I was to briefly relate
stories of revelatory moments I had experienced. I wasn’t even to
comment on my revelations. The Holy Spirit, knowing the needs of each
person reading, would do that.
So recently I hit the Publish button
imagining the type person who could benefit from reading the post. In a
moment of misplaced piety, I asked, “Lord, please bless this blog
post…” He interrupted me with,
“Don’t ask Me to bless what you do; ask to do what I’m blessing.”
(Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS LIFE!)
