Honestly.....I struggle posting.

I struggle posting blog posts…not for lack of writing them (most in my head)…but for these various reasons:

a.     It never reads the way I would say it out loud.

b.    What if anything I write were to sound prideful..which is the ABSOLUTE opposite of my desire and intentions?

c.    What if anything I write were misunderstood?

d.    What if what is written comes off unintentionally offensive?

e.    What if my heart doesn’t show through the words and the words don’t paint a clear picture?

WHAT IF???????  Well, I think the Lord has finally worked through these “what if’s”.  If I’m not going to write anything…why have a blog..if I have such great concern about those things listed above…I must give each of them to the Lord and allow Him to use this blog for His purposes.  I must pray that His grace would cover over each “concern” and just POST. 

My desire is to share God’s work here in Namibia.  To, hopefully, paint some word pictures of what it is like to live in this foreign context and walk with the Lord down this road.  To keep friends, family, etc…informed and included in God’s work here and God’s work in us.  To have a sweet record of periodic posts for my “MK’s” to read as they grow, by His grace.  And lastly, but again, most important…to point any who might read this to the One-True-Almighty God who, saved us by His grace, through faith in His son Jesus…and His work on the cross. Our Savior, who, in spite of Faults and Failures, sins and selfishness…Redeems. 

May He be exalted High….Here.
