Having Faith in Writing.

Jun 4

2 Timothy 2:25-26 NLT

“Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.”

Hey Girly Pops!

Starting this blog obviously is a leap of faith I am taking. I have already poured out hours in simply creating the website, brainstorming blog ideas, looking at the highs, lows, and in between of simply starting this page. Outside of fear of time commitment, in all honesty, fear of judgement has been my strongest holdback of creating this blog. But that’s the thing. I am tired of allowing fear to be a factor which has control on my life. So, I am using this blog page is simply me letting go of that fear, giving it to God, and know that He has a bigger plan.

Truthfully, my walk of faith has never been consistent. I believed in almost all my adolescent life, until high school and college came. As it does for everyone on this Earth, life threw challenges at me, and unfortunately, I fell under pressure and stopped believing. I say unfortunately, because there will always be an inkling in me that my life could have been different had I kept believing. But God continuously shows and reminds me that everything which I have went through has simply made me a better person and has gotten me to this point of faith. He showed up when I needed him the most and made a change in my life. I would be lying if I said I immediately found God and became a devote Christian, but lying does nothing to better scenarios. There have been battles with wins and losses, laughter, weeps, prayers and silence, and despite when I would question God, I learned that He never questions me.

I am hopeful that this blog can be used to bring myself closer to God. I hope this page continues to deep my love for God, my love for writing, and overall become a strong part of my testimony. Simultaneously, I pray this blog can be used to create new believers, more faithful believers, or simply just touch those who need it.

All of this being said, I do not go into plans of making all my blog post be center focused on the Lord, but I anticipate that I will use my passion of writing to spread His word. This blog is for truth, not façade. We all are natural born sinners and fall victim to free will. This blog is a safe space for those of us who are still learning, those of us who are not perfect, and those of us who simply need someone who isn’t scared to tell the truth. I hope to create a balance within my writing, sharing his words when appropriate and knowing when enough is enough. I pray that you guys follow this journey with me with an open heart and mind.

With love,

Jess C
