My first blog experience

Everyone who has started a blog has had to have their "first entry".  I would love to be able to write something prophetic that I will be able to look back on a year from now and see that it was a first step into a life changing experience.  However, even now as I am typing these words the worst part of me comes out: FEAR.  Fear is my worst enemy.  It has been with me for so long that I almost don't know how to exist without it.  Almost.  I am learning to let go and let God.  God is teaching me to do this.  Every morning I wake up and pray that the Holy Spirit will be heard above all of the voices that I have allowed to permeate my mind and my choices.  I am trusting God to make the irrational thoughts diminish and instead allow me to choose my way of living by His guidance.  It's a phenomenal thought: letting go and gaining more.  God can do immeasurably more than we can imagine as is evidenced in His Word.  However, as I am wont to do I expect miracles to happen in the moment, at the snap of the fingers.  Perhaps, instead of assuming that the parting of the Red Sea came about in the blink of an eye maybe I should focus more on the miracle itself--that it happened.  Maybe it wasn't as instantaneous as I would like to think.  It might have been a process of evaporation.  The point is that God saved His people.  Maybe the miracles that we are all hoping and praying for are in the process of happening.  God doesn't work in the same time frame as humans.  Yes, sometimes God's miracles are in the moment but sometimes they happen over the span of a few days, months, or years.  Either way they happen and that is why I have chosen to create my own blog.  I don't expect it to be read by many nor do I expect to change the direction of the world.  I just want to share with others that God does work in mysterious and miraculous ways and sometimes waiting is the only way to witness these powerful acts of God.
