I've kind of been putting off writing this all day....Maybe because I am scared.
Maybe because I don't know if I can truly do this challenge.
Maybe because I couldn't figure out how to make my own badge. {sad}
But I am determined to move forward with this.
What is THIS??
{RE}discovering Him.
His heart.
His plans.
His purpose.
His desires
The way He see me.
The way I relate to Him.
The way He loves the world.
The way He values me.
And. So. Much. More.
But I am scared because I have been terrified to "get to know" this God that I have loved since I was 4 years old all over again. The hurt and the pain that I have gone through since then makes me hesitant to trust all over again, and yet, I know deep in the fiber of my being that nothing else is quite as good, as amazing, as perfect as His love, grace, and mercy.
I have been thinking about this for weeks, so I thought about planning my posts ahead of time, but then I thought, these 31 days should TRULY be about discovery. Some days I may reflect on lessons I have been learning all along, but I am really hoping/praying/believing that most of the days will be filled beautiful revelations along the way.
I am counting on that.
Will you join me in {RE}discovering Him too?
I finally figured out how to do a banner & a badge -- I liked the banner better! ;-)
Next - Day 2 :: The Reason

I'll be coming here to check out your 31 Days posts. And I'll be praying for you as you go on this journey. May you find all that your heart longs for and needs.
I so understand your fear of re-discovering Him after such pain - I felt exactly the same at one point - I held Him at a distance although I wanted Him close - it hurt either way. I'm coming through the other side now and there is a freedom and a relief in drawing close again - you think you can't do it - but you can ... I'll be reading :)
PS I'm Shelley from Spilling The Beans - I thought that would show up on my comment :)
Thank you, Shelley! I went back to your blog again today, and I remember feeling that initial connection to you after reading your story. Thank you for reaching out to me from that place of understanding.
Thanks so much, Rachel! I truly appreciate your encouraging workds!
