Blogging about God

I started a blog in 2009 about life as a parent of four young children. I have struggled with what to write about. I guess you could call it "writer's block". In 2009 I also started to seek God like I had never done before. The start of this new blog, "Seeking and Finding God" is really just my journey. I feel like it's time to share, express, and blog about God. I can't think of anything better to blog about. Since beginning this journey with God I have experienced so many good things, but I've also experienced ups and downs, highs and lows, doubt, confusion, love, grace, certanity, and most importantly salvation. Not only salvation for eternity in heaven with Christ, but salvation from myself. Salvation from myself meaning that I'm constantly learning to take my eyes off myself, and put my eyes on something bigger than me, and my circumstances. I have learned to simply put my eyes on God. To the one thing that is always constant, the one thing that is always certain.
Seeking, following, and finding God is not always easy, but it is worth it. When I first started this journey with God I started going to church more than I ever had before, and with a zeal I had never experienced before. When you are unchurced for most of your life, and you finally start going to church as an adult it almost feels like learning a foreign language. It stirs up a mixture of emotions.
This blog is being created to simply share my journey. Every single person's journey with God is different. I just want to share my candid journey with God in an attempt to share God in a way that other people can relate to. I'm not a minister, or a preacher; I'm just a child of God, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and a blogger. I want to share an experience with others that shows all the sides and complexeties of seeking and finding God. Not a polished sermon, but simply a woman seeking God and the experience's I have had, and will continue to have along the way. A candid look into the life of an imperfect person, in an imperfect world, and finding my way to God. This is my authentic journey with God....
