Takin a new approach.

I have decided this morning to take a new approach to writing. What am I most passionate about? God, and wanting others to know my love for Him and to know they can have the love of their life as well when you are in relationship with Him. I also think there are a lot of people in the church that have no idea what having a relationship with God the Father, God, the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (the Comforter). Its more about the do's and don'ts of going to a church than it is about having relationship with Him. I have said for a long time now, You cannot be passionate about someone you don't know. I think we require people to get involved with so many things in church before we actually try to find out where they are in their spiritual relationship with God.

I have been writing a monthly devotional for 11 or 12 years now for a newsletter started for my husband's ministry. Its mostly been about what God was currently teaching me. Some have told me that I am a gifted writer and so if I have a talent for that, I don't want to bury a gift God has given me to reach others. I have a desire for people to know God and what better way for me to communicate that to others than through writing about Him. I am no Bible Scholar. I am a plain, everyday, Southern girl who has recently acquired a real hunger to study God's Word. After a tour in the Holy Land this past summer, I came home wanting to learn about details in the Bible because now I can picture the places where events in the Bible took place. I have read through most of the Bible ( I always get bogged down in Deuteronomy, don't judge me), but now I want to study it.

So this blog will become about an everyday daughter of the King on a journey through the Bible. I will probably use different versions of scripture, although my favorite Bible is my NIV Study Bible.

I would love it if you care to join me on this journey. Pastors, Pastor's wives, Bible teachers, I would love your insight and to keep me accountable for anything I say wrong.

God Bless,
Kerri
