Be Positive!

In my Bible Study group last night we had some really good discussions on the Spirit-Filled life. I really enjoyed it, but don't have time to go into it much here. But this particular verse struck me and so I thought I'd share it here.

Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I was encouraging people yesterday at work to be more positive. This verse really hit me as I was re-reading it last night. Such a nice encouragement!

first post again

I have always wanted to be a writer. Or at least to consider myself good at writing. But I've never really taken the steps to get there. I love blogs and I read a lot of them. A good number are individual person blogs and those are the ones that inspire me most. And I most want to emulate them. But the truth is I've always considered myself and my writing not worthy of being "read".

But now I've come to realize that it's not the right way to look at it. I need to start this blog and actually keep going on it. For myself. For an improvement in writing. Stop looking at it as something that the world needs to care about and start doing it just for myself. Maybe then I'll actually improve in my writing skills and become the blogger I dream of. Or maybe I'll just post this and only my loving husband will read it. Either way I want to be a better writer and maybe this will help. At the very least it will get me more comfortable with writing. I hope. Here's to starting.
