“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip. Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.”
I really don't know where to begin. I love God. I have so many reasons and I wish I could share every single one because truly it has shaped me into the person I am today. I love to write. I first started writing when I was 15, started with a journal and poetry then songs. As I got older I continued with letters and poetry. Then one day I just stopped.(fast forward) I joined a woman's group earlier this year and slowly I started to hear God's voice telling me to write. I can assure you that it was something I didn't feel like I wanted to do, I had way too many questions and doubts about if it was even possible and if I was gifted enough. Well, long story short here I am starting a blog. I love reading other people's blog's, sometimes I read things I don't agree with or have a million opinions about but I always read with an open mind and I always ask the Holy Spirit to be my guide when I read or write. For me, it has been a way to see the bigger picture of what God is trying to tell us. As you may have guessed my faith will have a big part in this blog if not all part, God wants to tell you something and I have made a choice to be led by the Spirit to bring forth this message. I am not here to convince anyone about who God is or scare you into a religion, simply, I am here to tell my story and to be used by God to share whatever it is he wants me to share with whoever reads this. I welcome everyone and I welcome questions. I will not engage in arguments about my faith or religion. I am who I am and I don't need to defend myself or prove anything to anyone. I come with love and respect. I hope that in this new journey I'm embarking on you as well find yourself stepping into something new and amazing!
