I started the pause blog because the Lord called me to speak
up. In the midst of the heartaches and
the hardest times in my life, instead of being faithful to the Word, I learned
to build walls--stone walls-- thick stone walls, not allowing anyone in. And I lost my voice. But through it all, the
Lord has been faithful to me. Relentless in His tender love for me. And as I learn daily to live in His grace and
mercy, I am learning to use my voice. And He is changing me. From the inside
out. As I allow Him to mend the broken
pieces, chipping away at those stone walls, I testify to His goodness. And as I
follow and listen to His Voice, I learn to be the voice He calls me to be.

AND I PAUSE.

And I write. I write as a ministry. And though it doesn’t come easy to share, and it is foreign to write, I have a story to tell. I have His story to tell and a responsibility as follower and servant of Jesus Christ. And I am honored to do that. And though you will find grammar mistakes here, though you will not always find beautifully poetic words, you will find truth and encouragement. And that is my desire--
above anything else, I want to bring glory to Him in everything I do. I want my life, that is spilled into words here, on this blog, to reflect my love for Jesus. And to point you to Him. I and I can’t do that being silent. |
