Best of intentions

I have the best of intentions to update this blog more frequently. I feel a responsibility to do so — for you who read it and for myself. (I’m not motivated strictly by altruism or my call from God.)

Writing for personal reasons centers me. It fills and restores me. Some days it’s cathartic to think through random thoughts circling in my mind or troubling situations that I’ve yet to turn over to God. Other days it’s exciting for me to share some new revelation. Sometimes I feel a need to ‘fess up to things I’ve done or said or thought that reveal how human I really am. You are my accountability partners (which begs the question, how come none of you are questioning me or my progress?).

The truth is, if you haven’t seen a posting here in a while, it probably means life is out of balance and I’m one crabby individual. When I’m not writing, I’m not fulfilling God’s purpose for me. I’m not being fed and connecting to my spirit, the Holy Spirit or to others. So, if you haven’t seen a posting in a while, drop me an email because I could probably use some encouragement or a reminder as to what is really important.

And as always, please comment on my postings so that I know someone is reading my ramblings. That’s a huge encouragement to me! Thanks.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Eph. 2:10

P.S. I’m scheduling a couple of postings for this coming week, just to make up for some lost time. Stay tuned!


About Amy

Writer of Teachings from the Trail, spiritual lessons learned from on old gelding named Ernie. I began writing these short lessons as God showed me how things that happen with my horse could teach me truths about Him, His Word and living a Christian life. These devotions have been a delight to write as God draws near to me in the process. I've shared them with Hope & Horses and readers of The Line Rider, a publication of the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys. God's given me the gift of writing and spiritual insights -- now I want to share these devotions with anyone who may grow from them. Please pass along a link to this site. I'd love your comments.
