Before the year 2017 ended, I expressed my earnest desire to continue blogging. When my daughter got sick, I reviewed some of those things I promised to God that I would do to trade with Him so that my daughter would get well. I know God does not really think that way. However, there is no such thing as “accident” or coincidence with him. There must be reason why that thought crossed my mind.
The year 2009 was the year that I started writing my heart out through blogging which led into publishing my own book. One book led to another. And right at this very moment, I am finishing my third. Could it be “coincidence” in 2008? Man thinks that way but God uses situations in our lives to discover some things about us that may need to come out for His purpose which is “for others”. Always for others.
I have been running words in my mind from time to time. And I should say the writer in me tends to formulate words and concepts associating them with the varied situations in my life. But I always say the words “too busy to write them down”. I feel that I am gifted with a restless mind in order to put them into writing.
The earlier motivation to write began during those times when I wanted to continue giving seminars and trainings. However, at some point in the past, I did not have much opportunity to give them. It was always my desire to reach out to a wider audience and it dawned on me how writing could do that. I started a blog site in 2009 with that vision. To reach out to a wider audience. Looking back I felt I succeeded despite at times I felt my blog site was like a “snail” slowly achieving its purpose and intention.
Going back into the promise that shaped in my mind during such struggle of “begging God” to heal my daughter last month (December 2017), I knew that my purpose is to really reach out, stay simple and humble. Thus, even if this blog site may appear like a “snail mail”. It will continue to thrive and flourish... tested by time from the ups and downs of the life’s true journey.
I like God’s wisdom. It whispers like a strong wind in the midst of a super turbulent storm.
Have a Joyfully Hopeful Year of 2018!
