In the beginning

There are many reasons to start a blog...well I have one, Christ. I have always wanted to start a blog and I never did because i figured no one would want to hear(read) what I have to say(or write). Well over the years I have come to find out, people listen and believe the stupidest things and I can at least put out the truth. Plus I met this guy, Adam Smith, who started a blog just because and now he has a very well known blog.. if he can do it so can I!
So, Strangers and Aliens. This came from Hebrews 11v13-17, my life verse(13). "13 All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. 14 Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. 15 If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. 16 But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them" These verses are talking about the people in the Bible who followed God even when they did not see the promises fulfilled that God had made first hand. They trust and believe that God is a faithful God and they followed Him in a way that they are still admired and talked about today.
I want to be a person like that, when people who do not believe in the God I serve read my blog...and I hope they do, I do not want you to read my blog and think I am trying to convert you or convince you that my God is the right God. I want you to see a person who loves you and serves God to the best of her ability. I know God can change the world and if He wants to use me, I want to be available.
I dont really have an agenda for this blog, I believe I should have started one a long time ago and today I have followed through. My prayer is to God be the glory and through Him, this blog will change peoples lives, including mine.

In love,
Chaarity
