It’s Been Awhile

July 17, 2008 by undertheeverlastingarms

And I’ve missed you. Coming back to blogging after an almost 2 month hiatus feels like coming back to home. But seriously though, it is time to put the ol’ fingertips back use and just the sound of my computer keys compressing is like music to my ears (sorry, I’m a writer so I can’t’ help myself). But anyway, I’ve missed writing and blogging. I think mostly too I’ve missed God. I’ve missed my times with Him. Listening for Him in the little things and then just getting to share that, write about it.

If there’s been anything God has shown me over these last few weeks then I think it would be this; that the talents He gives us are yes, to be used for His glory but not only that but I think too they are the very thing that God uses to draw us into a closer relationship with Himself. When we don’t use them then perhaps it is then we do start to lose sight of Him.

What I discovered over the last few weeks is how easy it is for me to drift away from Him when I am not actively using what He has given me to point to Him. Even if no one else is listening, I am, and God knows that the gifts He has given me are even for my own benefit. They keep me close to Him. When we use our talents for Him then perhaps the clearer and clearer we shall see Him.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. (Colossians 3:23-24).

Glad to be back to writing!

I haven’t heard from you in a while. We were both on hiatus! What’s up? What happened to the e-magazine?

Hey!!! Just getting back to wordpress and yes, I have been on hiatus! Miss my blogging friends though. I will have to stop by your blog here this week and say hi, right now though I think I’m gonna be late for work.

Talk to you soon Lorraine and hope you are doing well and have a Merry Christmas!
