Today's blog marks a very important milestone in the Growing with God timeline and will be a little longer than normal. This blog is my 365th blog. It has taken a little over a year to reach this important marker and it a testament to a very important change in my life. I have shared this testimony with very few people and feel the time is right to share it now.
There were a combination of events that lead me to start writing the blog. Encouragement from friends and family to put my thoughts in writing but then there was my little secret. You see at the time I started writing I was in the middle of a deep depression. I could not figure out a way to escape the darkness, until I started with this one very small step.
I decided to look for just one positive event or thought in my day that I could thank God for or find inspiration from. I felt that if I could do this, I would be able to share with others how to practically live out their faith on a daily basis. In the beginning it was very difficult but as I started writing more and more, it became easier. Soon, thoughts of my writing consumed my day, even though I was working and productive, my mind would constantly wander to the blog. I soon found too that the negativity that had gripped my mind, simply melted away.
You see when we worship God through thoughts of praise, we exalt him and God becomes bigger than our problems. Soon you see the good in life and that God has a divine plan for you and that as we submit to him and surrender our hearts to him, that he truly does guide and direct your path to good and wonderful things.
I have received many short but beautiful testimonies from those who receive the blog via email and it has confirmed over and over again, that writing this blog is exactly what God desires for my life. My continued prayer is that the blogs will continue to inspire and encourage others to see God's goodness, kindness and grace in operation in our daily lives.
