Rationale

This blog is something I've been thinking of starting for awhile now, and I believe it's time.  :)  The Holy Spirit works in some crazy ways and through some pretty strange sources-including me!  The Spirit leaves bits of wisdom within each of us that could be for us way later down the road or for a friend or even someone we talk to only once.  It's hard to tell how the Spirit will move and work within us.  I've taken to calling this little pieces of wisdom "seeds" lately, because that's exactly what they are-little tidbits, that when they are deposited in the right soil (person) turn into huge, life changing things.  I've been noticing a lot of these lately in my life, and I pray that I continue to see Him in the little things in life.  A couple of notes before I dive in:  as I said, I've been noticing several of these lately.  I'll try to back up and catch up on some of the more recent things that have caught my attention when I have time.  Also, the rationale behind the seed idea can be found here:  http://www.believers.org/believe/bel133.htm.  I love the analogies this site uses.  :)  Finally, one warning label that I feel I should let my potential readers know up front:  One of my favorite Christian artists is Steven Curtis Chapman.  I was fortunate enough to see him live in only his third concert back touring after the loss of his daughter.  It was such a blessing to see him still striving for the Lord and proclaiming his name even in the midst of his own, personal great pain and loss.  He has a blog which can be found at:  http://chapmanchannel.typepad.com/scc/.  ANYWAY, the description of his blog reads:  "Okay, I'm going to say this right off the bat...I'm going to fail at this blog thing.  I'm told this is to be short-n-sweet entries that don't try to go too deep or try to communicate too much information.  To which I say, "yeah, right!"  You see, I don't do "short-n-sweet", "not too deep" is a concept I don't grasp and "too much information" is my middle name."    I LOVE this description-I'm so bad at keeping things short, sweet, and to the point, as any of my friends who text me know-I can't keep my thoughts contained within 160 characters!  The point being-these posts will probably be long and rambling-so thanks for reading them anyway, in advance.  :)

Oh!  One more thing-you might have noticed is that you can find my blog at http://1corinthians2.blogspot.com/.  Why 1 Corinthians 2?  Read it!  Check it out!  I've been praying so much for wisdom in my life in the midst of some different situations I've been dealing with, and I love the words Paul has written here.  It talks about a) primarily focusing on Jesus, knowing Him first; b) searching for wisdom, and c) wisdom only being revealed through the workings of the Spirit.  That's my hope in this-that through writing out more of these thoughts and having them to look back upon, I will be able to SEE more clearly the Spirit working within my life and the lives of those around me.  :)

Thanks for reading!
