Just Beginning

January 4, 2011
Today, I am beginning a journey....again.  On this journey, I am seeking to walk more closely with God.  It's not that I haven't done this before.  It is that I find myself needing to be reminded that a life of faith requires that I learn to 'walk with God' everyday, and some days it is easier than others. For the past six months, I have been reading scripture and journaling, although I find that I am not always as disciplined as I would like to be, so I need to catch up, start over, or maybe even skip ahead.  I don't think I would be a very good monk.  I am more often than not reminded that I am a sinner saved by grace and I need God's grace, so I start again.
Maybe being aware of my need for grace is a good place to start.  Maybe that is why I want to 'walk with God.'  For it is by his grace I have been set free and able to experience his blessings.  It is why I want to journey with Him.  I have an insatible need for more of his grace.
This blog is dedicated to all who want to journey with me as we seek to 'walk with God.'  At our church there are more than 80 people who purchased a Life Journal with a Bible reading plan and pages to write thoughts, feelings, wonderings and frustrations.  This blog will be the place where you will hear and read some of my own.  I hope it will be an encouragement to you as you seek to walk with God as well!
