"What if your blessings come through raindrops? What if your healing comes through tears? What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you're near? What if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise?" -- lyrics from "Blessings" by Laura Story (based on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
After being sick for almost 3 years and trying to redefine my life, I lost myself. This year, I am on a mission to find myself again and rediscover God's purpose for my life. As a trained journalist and educator, I have always used writing as my preferred method of self-expression. This blog will be a chronicle of my journey through self-discovery. I am not sure what form it will take. But I do know that it will focus on three things:
1. Renewal of Spirit
2. Renewal of Body
3. Renewal of Mind
It will all be within a biblical and Christian context, with Renewal of Spirit coming first. I am a firm believer that once the spirit is renewed, everything else will fall into place.
I choose to believe that God sends us all raindrops -- and sometimes rainstorms -- in our lives in order to help us go through this process of renewal. If that's the case, I am using this 3-year downpour I've been experiencing to bring about new growth. It is in this way that I am taking my Raindrops to Renewal.
Hooray!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to see your blog on Facebook. You're in my prayers, and I can't wait to follow your journey.
This is great! Looking forward to more. Now, maybe, you might need a Facebook fan page for the site, a la JIMBAUX'S JOURNAL.
ReplyDeleteThis will really help you, I know. It's self expression in the same form as a musician on stage.
What a blessing that you will share your journey and past hurts to enrich the lives of others. Looking forward to journeying with you. Love you to pieces!
