I had second thoughts, today, about continuing with this blog, and I'd better tell y'all why.  Before beginning it, I didn't really seek the Lord's input, at least not to the degree that I should.  Although I put some thought into the blog, and I did talk to the Lord about it, I forgot to ask for His blessing. I'm worried, really worried, about me and myself and too much of me, me, me being present.

By establishing a blog that deals with a walk with Christ, our risen Savior must be the most visible aspect.  I think in any endeavor that deals with our relationship with God, if God is not the central focus, and without His blessing, the endeavor is doomed to fail.  I had an idea in my head about something that I wanted to accomplish, and I'm afraid that's exactly what I'm going to get:  a personal accomplishment, and if that's what happens, then things will have gone seriously awry, and it will be all my fault.

If you haven't yet gotten the idea, I'm going to try to be even more clear:  The Holy Spirit brought me up short this morning, in the middle of my prayers, and showed me in no uncertain terms the error of my ways, and so this post is a confession that I messed up by not seeking God's blessing before getting started.  Some people may think "No big deal" but that is NOT the message that I received.

I asked forgiveness of God, and I must also ask the forgiveness of anybody who is reading this post, and those who saw my post yesterday on Facebook.  Y'all had every right to expect that I would have placed this endeavor in God's hands, COMPLETELY, but I did not.  It shames me more than you know to make this public confession, but it's nothing to the shame I felt when my Savior brought it to my attention.  I do not deserve a second chance to get this right, and I won't get that chance without publicly confessing that I messed it up.  I hope you believe me when I say that I have now, with all the humility that I can muster, sought the face of my God and asked that He bless not only this blog and the things that will be shared here, but also that he bless all of you, who read this and contribute your own thoughts.

I'll try to do better, y'all.
