Radical Transparency

I have made a decision I never thought I would; I have listed and linked my old blogs in my current profile: Unsayable being the oldest of the blogs, and Swanky Spinster being the next in sequence. They were anonymous. The only people who even knew that they were written by me were close friends that I chose to disclose that to. Many of my less trusted/less close friends and acquaintances did not even know that I even had a blog. That was the way I wanted it.

*BTW, I don't know if I will post in either one of the old blogs again; simply because I feel they really are part of the past, and written by the old me.. I need a current blog to post more mundane or unrelated subjects to, but I may just elect to start a new one for those purposes, so this blog will stay as a focused spiritual journal. If I do start a new blog to talk about other parts of my life, it too will be listed in my profile, so stay tuned if you wish to read my other meandering thoughts. Heh heh.

There are some really rough, dark entries in both blogs. However, there are also glimpses of me trying to get closer to God, and grappling with my relationship with God. I am linking them to this new blog: Presence of Glory because they testify to some of where I was (I say some, because much of my deepest and darkest thoughts and feelings never were posted at all, not even on those anonymous blogs; anything I didn't want to share all went into pen and paper journals that no one has ever seen, or been permitted to read, so, rest assured I still have my secrets, probably many more than I even realize).

But I am letting the world into my old blogs to see the rest...come what may. I can only hope that they may help someone who is struggling, perhaps with some of the same issues and feelings I've had throughout the course of my life, or other problems, and/or, that they would testify to what God can do in one willing life (even though it had been utterly shattered), one surrendered soul (even though it had been thoroughly battered), one open heart (even though it had been broken to degree that seemed irretrievable).

Because Nothing, NOTHING, nothing, Nothing, nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G is too hard or too impossible for God! That is what my life is here to proclaim to the world. For in God *is* the fullness of His Glory! And nothing, and nobody can stand in the full Glory of God and not be changed, healed, saved and delivered. His Glory leaves nothing broken, nothing bent, nothing missing. In His Glory is the fullness of Shalom. Wholeness. Wellness. At-One-ness /Atonement. May you be in the presence of the Most High God, The Holy One of Israel, and may you be made new every moment by His Grace, His Mercy, His Love & His Resurrection Power.

Showers of Blessings

I am too busy to update this much now, but I promise there will be more here soon. God is still doing great things in my life, too many even to count. His blessings have been pouring out on my life, and on all those that I love and care about. I am in awe of His goodness.
