Here it goes...
Writing almost everyday used to be a must for me. Sadly in the last few years there have been many other musts that have taken its place. I've abandoned this passion, and for that, I'm sorry.
This year in 2010, regaining this lost love of mine is first on my list. I must add that the mere fact of loving this expression does not assure at all my skill in this art. So please, don't expect too much of these blogs.
The fact of the matter is, I simply adore the written word and the freedom that it rewards me with every time I unfold my hearts thoughts. This blog may be in essence selfish, since I might be more blessed then you are by it.
2010 has been defined for me by Matthew 10:38
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Once again the compelling words of Jesus reach me. I'm understanding in part the freedom that He offers his followers. His philosophy is insane, but entirely liberating!! "Lose your life?". Yes, the life that does not seem too bad or sinful.
Heck, it might even be a wonderful one He asks us to leave. Still, by losing that "life", if we can call it that, He in return gives us the finest one, that is His own, fabricated by Him, for Him.
I'm encouraged about what Jesus promises. Although, to let go of everything I thought I should have and what others insist on me having, is by no means easy.
Feelings of failure and defeat could creep in during this death to life. However, despising this process would be utterly foolish of me, when in my heart of hearts I know that the resurrection of my little life will be entirely beautiful.
