Blog Relaunch

Welcome to my new and improved blog! As I can no longer see my quarter life mark in the rearview I figured it was about time for me to rename my blog. This new title comes from Colossians 1:11-12

"May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light." (ESV)

This past semester we were challenged to memorize the book of Colossians. I only got through the first two chapters, and though it was really tough and time consuming, it was more than rewarding. The first two chapters repeat the gospel over and over and remind me of my identity in Christ.  In Paul's letter he says that through Jesus I am qualified to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. I am most greatful to be the daughter of the most high King who allows me to share in his rich inheritance of eternal life.

As a response the position I have in God's kingdom, I seek to bring glory and honor in all that I do, especially in this blog.  Last night I struggled through a few questions:

1. Is a blog a good use of my time?
2. Does it bring honor to God?
3. What is my motivation for writing this blog? For my glory or God's?
4. Will this feed my need for approval?
5. Will I use it avoid authentic relationship in my real life?
6. Am I boldly proclaiming the gospel?

By thinking through these question, God pointed out some new and old sin areas in my heart. Too many in fact to flesh out today, but I will try to share a few thoughts on these questions over the next few weeks.  In the end, I feel like this could be a good way for me to share what God is teaching me, but I definiely need to be aware of several pitfalls. I already had to delete a previous post because it could be hurtful if a certain person read it. Let's just say this blog is a work in progress, just like me!
