100 ~ Meditation Mondays

It's my 100th post today. Thought I would celebrate by changing my look! To be honest, I'm kinda surprised I made it to 100.  When I first started my blog I thought I would throw up everytime I posted something.  Mostly because I'm a private person, kinda shy.  Not putting myself out there and not making waves.  Just being.  It's super easy to just be.  Me and my comfortable self were getting along just fine until one morning.

After spending some time in the Word that July morning, I felt a nudge from the Lord to share about my life and what I'm learning about Him. And, no matter what, make it honest.

What Lord? Am I really supposed to let people know that I don't have it all together?  Have them know I am not a "perfect" Christian?  Oh my goodness, what if they know that I don't always adore being a mom and I don't always make the right decisions?

Well, I did it.

And don't think I haven't second guessed it, compared it, hated it and loved it all at the same time.  But what I once treasured - my privacy - has taken a backseat to my faith.  And that's a good thing.

If this blog is for me only, I have learned.  I learned that obedience moves you forward.  Brings you closer to the Lord.  Makes you hunger for more of what Christ wants for your life.  Makes you not want to miss another nudge.
