I have been of the mindset for many months that blogging is self-serving and narcissistic.  I have spent a long time praying and seeking advice of friends and colleagues.  That being said, I have not entered this lightly.  I believe that God has used so many specific scriptures to touch my life and bring healing in numerous ways.  I am overcome with gratitude for what he has done for me.  So that is why I will do this strange thing called blogging so perhaps you will be lifted!
