Introductions

I keep asking myself why I've been thinking about writing. Why I am beginning a blog. I'm not a blogger. I do enjoy writing, but to put myself out on the level that anyone can read my thoughts? That is completely terrifying to me. However, God keeps bringing me back to this. Back to putting my thoughts down on "paper." But I am a tad too lazy to pick up a pen. Writer's cramp really hurts, ya know. So here I am. My entry into all things bloggy. (Is that even a word?...I'm new to this.) 

So here's my introduction. I'm jamie. I'm a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's stop there. That is the most important part of me. I don't really have to go any farther. Acts 2:44 says "And all who believed were together and had all things in common." That's my common ground I wish to share with the world. Jesus Christ. Nothing else needs to matter. We can come from completely different backgrounds, races, cities, lives, etc. but if we have the love of Jesus in common - we have all things in common. And I find such freedom in that. It helps me breathe so much easier. Because you may be different from me. You may be mom of the year. You may be wife of the year. You may be amazing at house-keeping, always have food on the table when your hubs gets home, and just be down right smiley every minute of the day. But that's not me. But, if we have Christ in common - we need nothing else in common.  We can live life together as followers of the one true king and joyfully BREATHE those breaths of sweet relief. I don't have to keep up with you. You don't have to keep up with me. We can rest. And if I'm being honest....I need some rest. I praise you Lord Jesus. You are the Counselor, Master, Lord and Light of my life. For that I am so grateful.

I have no idea if this will ever be read. I do know God has brought it to my heart on multiple occasions. Maybe it's my own version of free therapy! I definitely may even need that on some days! =) However, if it brings glory to God - I couldn't be happier.

O Lord GOD, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? - Deuteronomy 3:24


His servant,
