The journey of 40 blog posts begins with a single word.

This morning during my quiet time, God challenged me to write a blog post a day for 40 days.  There is some background needed here.  You see, I'm a writer.  The problem is I haven't been writing.  I'm a Christian who believes and loves God but I haven't been spending time with Him.  This exercise is an attempt to do both.  I'm not sure what God is going to do, but I'm committed to following Him and finding out.

I liken it to taking a trip to a place I've never been.  Obviously, I'm nervous and excited.  Luckily, I have an expert Guide.  I'm sure He'll take me places I never knew existed.  He'll encourage me to do things I never dreamed possible.  I'll be pushed, stretched, and probably, at times, exhausted.  But at the same time, I will also be close to my God.  I can't wait to see what He shows me.

In the meantime, I'll journal the places I visit, the people I meet and the lessons I learn along the way.

I hope that you'll follow along by reading my writings and I pray that they will encourage you to either start or continue your own journey.  So, grab your walking stick and backpack.  I'll see you on the trail.  Don't forget the snacks.
