= Un Nuevo Blog - ¡Qué emocionante!
Well, I just felt it was time for a change; I have a feeling this is going to be the start of a new journey, and I wanted to use this to keep track of it all! And maybe, if I actually manage to keep an even semi-regular blog going, maybe sometime in the future, it can be a place where people can keep track of what I'm up to and pray for where God is taking me! So a little bit of an explanation of this blog: THE TITLE - "You WILL GO OUT IN JOY and be led FORTH IN Peace". This is written on the front cover of a beautiful little notebook that I bought this summer at a Christian festival - it's an excerpt from Isaiah 55:12. I haven't yet decided what to use this notebook for, but on my heart very much at the moment is how I can work for God. I've just returned from a mission trip and during that trip I spent a lot of time praying and asking God to use my life, asking him how he will use my future (when it gets dark at 18:00 and you have no internet or TV, there's not much else to distract you! ;-P), and the overwhelming answer he gave me was that I will definitely be working directly for him. I guess, as a local preacher already and studying for my degree in Theology, this shouldn't have been as much as surprise as it was!!! But this reading (and the surrounding vv.12-13) talks about - amongst other topics - making a great change in peoples' character. And that's a change I feel is brewing in me. A change from a holder of a passive Christianity (yes, loving God and trying to consider him in my life; but above this, making my own decisions and planning my own future) to an active heart showing God in the world and loving as he first loved me. And more than this, it is a change that by which God will be glorified - a covenant of blessings and grace. That if we follow God and walk with him always, our joy - in him - will be made complete (John 15:11). THE SPANISH POST TITLES - I've always had a passion for learning and Spanish is one my favourite languages. I learnt it up to AS-Level in school and have always just loved the way it sounded and speak it as much as I possibly can! I started this ages ago, with my old blog, and now (having spent time in a Spanish-speaking country, I love it more and more and more. THE PHOTO BEHIND THE POSTS - This was a photo I took in the Dominican Republic. It's of a flower on the Flamboyant Tree. These trees are everywhere there and I just think there so beautiful, and I LOVE how red the flowers are! So that's why I picked it! So that's why this blog looks like it does; I just hope I manage to follow through with some good posts too!!!
