Idea Wrestling and To The Beginning Of Conversations

4/16/2014

And, so it begins—this blog of mine! Let me amend that-- I hope it is truly His more than mine! I know I won’t be channeling His words, of course, but I pray that His Spirit will guide and direct me in all my ways as I begin this way of sharing.

And, for any of you that join me that are not followers of Jesus, welcome. I talk about Him a lot because He is just so a part of who I am; I cannot separate us. I ask you to come as you are, as well, and let us journey and share the ways of our lives.

I have not always been comfortable entering the blog space world because I didn’t know if I had much to say that was not already being said. Still, I simply feel called to enter the conversation about life and reality in a more public way.

I have an insatiable hunger to know God, know other people’s souls, and to interact with the world regarding truth, reality, ideas and such. I cannot stop trying to understand God, the world, other people, my kiddos, the Cosmos, the Middle East, politics, how to be a better Mama and friend, and the list goes on!!!!

Thus, I am an idea wrestler. I cannot stop wrestling with ideas and their fruits. Ideas are what make everything happen in the world—every human is living out a set of ideas, be they true or not. What we believe, we act out in our daily life. Ideas are so very, very important; we need to understand the ones we live by and what ideas those around us live by.

Here is to a lifetime of wrestling. J

It's great to find another soul that actually ponders the world around them. Few seem to in my sixty+ years of existence in this body. Its sad that the quest for understanding is generally rejected in favor of self gratification or mere existence and daily struggle. I am finding that God may not be as incomprehensible as the world would have us believe. I see and feel bits of him daily and accept that though we may not yet know him completely, it's not necessary or intended.
Life is a journey of realization. Of self and God. We struggle to be more like Him and hopefully less like ourselves. That surrender of self is rewarded in becoming an instrument for God's glory and aid to this world.Your worship in song and sharing of all that he is to you helps many continue that upward climb. I Hope that other's see God's growing presence in you as I do. Maybe they will comprehend your wrestling with ideas as steps in a journey they should also make. Be blessed and know we never walk alone.
