Psalm 139: 15-16

From Psalm 139 (New International Version)
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

The Lord knows who we are and what we will be and do, as we are created. Right now, as I sit in 2008 at a Gateway computer in a rather messy office at home (with dishes soaking in the sink...I'll get to that), the Lord KNEW I'd be here, doing this! There's God in heaven, right now, and here I am---tap, tap, tapping away on a computer, pondering His Word.

For the sake of my relationship with Him, I am glad I am studying the Bible. (And yes, Lord, I'll get to the dishes right now.) May the good Lord never be dismayed at what I do.

Why am I blogging?

Hello! My name is Carolyn Elaine. I once received a bookmark that said the name Carolyn is a feminized name for Charles, which means "Strong." My middle name is Elaine. The definition of Elaine is "Light." I want to be a strong light spiritually. And I have a long, long way to go.

Very long. Very, very, very long. If "holy, holy, holy" means the Lord is holy, holier and holiest over all; then I am very, verily, veriest(?) far from being a strong light of faith. But I have begun this journey.

I think my journey began when I was born, actually! I don't know if my spiritual journey came before I was born, but I believe so. How much earlier though, is unknown to me. I don't know if I sat in heaven waiting to be born; but born I was.

My spiritual life, like anyones, changes over time. And mine began intensely 8 years ago and came to a point of decision making 4 years ago. I have decided to follow Jesus. "Jesus answered, "I am the way, the truth and the light; no one comes to father, except through me." (John 14:6)

And the journey began.
