Most Thursday nights I sit down with my laptop and sigh dramatically about having to write my blog. Tonight was no different.

In my most whiny voice, I said to my roommate, “UGH! What should I write my blog about!”

“Chickens! The miracle of child birth!”, she exclaimed. “No really, you should write about obligations and the blessings that come from following through with them.”

…

I should have known she would turn it real in 0 seconds flat. What she said tugged on my heart. Here I sit each week with a platform to tell people about how God is working in my life, and I continuously complain about it. I mean people read this blog. Like 4 people, but people! Human beings who I have the opportunity to be a voice for God to work through.

God called me to write this blog, and it was my new year’s resolution to be obedient to that call. And God has not been silent in it. I have seen him work in the ways that I have been moved while writing, how I have been challenged by the things He places on my heart to write about. But more than that He has moved in the hearts of people through my words. I know this because of the comments, the texts, the Facebook messages that I have received after posting.

Jesus, I thank you for the ways that you have moved through and in this blog, and I pray that you continue to work on my heart and the hearts of the people through it. 

I think it was fitting to have this blog right in the middle of the year – I have been doing this for almost 6 months! I will choose not to forget about the ways in which God has moved! Here’s to 6 more months of blogging!
