Note to Self

So, naturally, I started a blog.

​

This decision was inspired by a valuable lesson I learned in premarital counseling: always be a student of your spouse. Strive to learn what makes him tick, and never assume you know it all. He’s more complex than I realize, and it will take a lifetime to truly know him.

​

As I examined my life, I began to wonder why I wasn’t applying the same approach to my relationship with God. He is infinitely more vast and complex than my husband, yet I sometimes become complacent. Having followed Him my whole life and graduated with a Bible minor from a Christian university, I mistakenly think I know all there is to know about Him.

However, the more I learn about God, the more I realize how much I don’t know.

It turns out I have no clue what I’m doing. Admittedly, I didn’t want to start this blog. I have no credentials or authority to speak. I’m a middle child who often prefers to fade into the background, where it feels safe. But when the Spirit moves you, standing still becomes nearly impossible.

​

So here I am. I’m not writing to you, kind reader, so much as I’m writing to myself. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I know what the Word of God says, and I can learn from His teachings and from others who know much more than I do. Welcome to a space where I share what I learn about God through books, podcasts, and, most importantly, His Word. Join me as I learn more each day and document my discoveries in these notes to self.
