I cannot believe it's been 9 months since the last time I've posted something. Well, actually, I can. Life got busy, and blogging was dropped. The year 2015 has been a year of many transitions, and I think I'm beginning to find my balance again.
Despite the lack of time to consistently blog about my Bible studies as I've done so for the last few years, the Holy Spirit continues to draw my attention back to the blog. For a while, I was reluctant to even log back into this blog, in fear of what might have become of it. Today, I worked up the courage to do it, and I was encouraged. The number of followers have increased, and this site continues to get views. As mentioned previously, I started this blog mainly as a cache for my notes from the various Bible studies that I participate in. Never did I imagine that it would garner the attention of so many others, and I am further humbled by how the content has encouraged fellow Christians. The Holy Spirit is at work through all this, and I will follow His lead.
For the past few months, I've pondered what more I could bring to the blog. When I started this blog, I was a neonate Christian and hungrily gobbled up all the knowledge about God and His Word through my Bible studies. I had a lot of notes and therefore a lot to blog about. But 2015 is a year of transitions. Having read the whole Bible four times and counting, I'm certainly no Bible scholar by any standards, but I believe myself to have matured into a Christian who can hold her own in an apologetics debate. While I continue to participate in Bible studies, I find myself focusing more on LIVING it than learning new knowledge. This is a contributing factor to the dramatic drop in the number of posts published this year. (I'm not saying there is no new knowledge to be gained -- but rather, the amount of new knowledge gained now takes more time to discover and digest.)
Despite my feeling that I may no longer have much to contribute to this blog and wanting the blog to just remain stagnant database of Bible study notes, the Holy Spirit kept stirring my heart about doing something more with this blog. And so, voila, here I am. How the format is going to be moving forward, I'm still not sure. Perhaps, instead of posting notes on Biblical knowledge, I will now post more about how we LIVE out such Biblical knowledge. Dr. Chuck Missler of Koinonia House has been a great influence on how I study the Bible -- but more importantly, he has also awakened my heart, that it's not about how much we know that matters but how we LIVE IT BY HEART that matters.
Regardless of how I move forward with this blog, I will simply follow the Holy Spirit -- and whatever He leads me to blog about, I will follow.
And I thank you, for continuing to grow with me, in our walk with the Lord.
