I want to share my hopes for this blog site. I truly do not want this to be a one-way dialogue. Does that even make sense...one-way dialogue?? Anyway, what I would love to have is a 'conversation'....a place where women can share their thoughts, feelings and experiences in relationship to God. That is what this is all about. How am I, how are you, how are we experiencing God in every day life? How am I responding to what He is showing me? Maybe your question is how do I learn to pay attention and begin noticing His interaction with me?
Perhaps you have not thought of your relationship with God in this way before. I know that was my experience. I loved knowing about Him, learning more about Him and serving Him in many different ways. Then a friend talked to me about 'intimacy' with Jesus and I questioned whether or not that was what my relationship was about. I embarked on a journey of discovery. What did this 'intimacy' look like? What did I need to begin doing to move in this direction? It has been an incredible process, this inner exploration of my spiritual life.
My desire, for this site, is that we as women can share how we see God interacting with us, moving in our lives, speaking to us and then how those experiences are changing us. I will try , on a regular basis to post things such as thoughts I am having, reviews on great books that you might like, how to incorporate spiritual disciplines into busy lives, a prayer, a poem or anything else that may be inspirational. Although some of these may be helpful for you, it is more powerful when others are sharing what is happening in their journey as well.
So.....PLEASE do not allow this to be a monologue! I invite you into the conversation. For those of you who are new to blogging, just hit the 'comments' key you will see after the post. Type in your thoughts and then click "Publish your comment"...that's all there is to it. Then come back to see what others are saying.
Together, we can learn, grow and encourage each other in our walk with Jesus. I look forward to our 'conversations'.
Until tomorrow.........

Deb,
Thank you so much for creating this space. It's like a blogging spiritual mentoring/direction/friendship place all rolled into one. There are so many times after I have my time with Jesus that I just want to share what has happened with someone and there isn't anyone available. I am so much looking forward to this,to learning from and with everyone, and to being a part of this great community.
Thank you Deb for allowing God to use in this way!

It is so nice to have this powerful Godly space to come to when my thirst is quenched yet incomplete without sharing it with community.
Thank you for guiding us and escorting us as we better learn to care for the Spirit. There is great passion and anticipation to the future and the sharing of the spiritual horizon together. Bless this site and your vision for it!
Bobbi
