Why Blog?

I have never done a blog before and honestly don't know much about them. I want to share why I'm starting one now and what I'm planning to blog about.
Over the past few years I have really felt God asking me to share my story, my life story. My life isn't so terribly different from everyone else but maybe I've gone through something just so God can use me to encourage you.
I started a book and it's still a work in progress. I'm content with still working on that and trying to get it published. But in the meantime I still feel that God doesn't want me to just sit by and wait. Along with this I feel like He's leading me to speak... specifically to women. I'm willing but I haven't felt like He's shown me a good way to start that.
It's possible that through these blogs opportunities will arise for me. That's up to Him. My focus will be more on you as I write.
This blog isn't going to be the normal updating on my life or what I did last weekend. It's more about sharing my convictions, struggles or encouragements. It's thoughts I have or things that happen that I feel like could help someone else. Some may convict you and some may encourage you. Some may be really serious and some may be more lighthearted. Most of them will have spiritual content in them. I'm not ashamed of that nor do I apologize. Christ is center in my life and therefore He'll come out in a lot of my topics. Some more than others I'm sure.
If you're reading this and wonder about a life with Christ, please ask. That is the most important topic.
Since I'm just doing this as things arise, I don't know how often I'll post. But please, if there is any topic you'd like me to discuss or you want my opinion (I've got lots of them!), email me at delightinlord@hotmail.com.  You can feel free to email me too if I've encouraged you in some way or you want to discuss something more specifically or personally.
I want you to feel free to share my blog with others as well. I'm an open person and I think God is wanting to use that.
Please know that I in no way think I'm better, more spiritual, or am closer to God than any of you. It's not about that. I'm simply using a gift that I feel God has given me.
Let's enjoy a journey together.
