Precious Promises

So, I’ve finally discovered a user-friendly way to put my writings on the internet! At 53, I’m still so computer-illiterate and amazed at what is possible. To think that one can potentially connect with any or every other person in the world is wonderful.

Therefore, I’m seeking like-minded or at least open-minded fellow seekers of truth, of God, of biblical knowledge, and of life in fellowship and community with others who yearn to understand God’s mind and will.

How can anyone make sense of life in this world? Even as a Christian, it’s clear to me that it takes a lifetime to learn to live by faith and not sight. God’s ways really ARE higher and better and wiser, but we are usually hard-hearted, dense-minded and sensory-oriented. We have to learn so much the hard way.

I look back and see so many lessons that could have been easier to learn if I had first–rather than last–asked, “What attitude or actions does God say are best?” If I had really understood that anything God instructs me to believe or to do is meant for my joy and peace, then I’d be more mature and more like Jesus by now. So I’m so thankful that God gives us so much time and so many opportunities to gradually learn and then do what he knows is the best way to live.

I’ve been sorting through life issues fairly proactively for my whole adult life. Writing the downloadable booklets posted on other pages here has helped me organize and make sense of the many pieces of life’s spiritual puzzle. I still have to read them again once in a while in order to remind myself of what we humans have such a hard time keeping in focus.

One of the best analogies to come from the computer age is the concept of resetting a default. That’s how I think of my life in this world: I am in the process of gradually resetting my default in each of life’s many compartments, changing them from human and worldly perspectives to the godly and spiritual paradigms that God so generously reveals to us in the Bible.

I hope this blog will give me a way to find and be found by others who are seeking God’s truth about these big questions about life. At least I hope it will give me a link to give out to those I cross paths with either in life or in cyberspace.
