I originally started my Blog, annasfaith.blogspot.com in
January 2010. I had recently watched the
movie, Julia Julia. The Julia of the
story decided to set a goal she was determined to keep. She loved to cook and was a follower and
admirer of Julia Child. She decided to
systematically execute one of Julia Child's recipes daily for a year and blog
about the recipe and the outcome each day for 365 days. As I thought about this in my quiet time with
the Lord I told Him I wanted to write about my faith. My initial reason was to put the thoughts
about my faith into written words to be shared with my grandsons in the
future. Trevor and Hunter were about 4
and 6 years old at the time. I want them
to know and love the Lord like I do. I
can read Bible Stories and sing Bible songs with them but I want them to know
their grandmother’s personal story. I
want them to read my own words about my individual faith journey. Faith is contagious and my grandchildren are
my legacy. I pray for them, my family
members, and all whom I love; daily.
I want them to know what I believe. I want them to know what I have learned in my
faith walk. And I want them to know
about the situations in my life which have affected my spiritual growth. There will come a day when each one of my
grandsons will have to choose for them selves what they believe. I can just tell them about my faith. Their faith and choices will be their
own. Now in 2013, I have four grandsons
so my reasons for doing this have multiplied.
Harrison is 18 months old and little
Brooks was just born. They are such
blessings in my life and I am so grateful to God for my daughters, son-in-laws,
and grandsons.
My Blog has become so much more than its original
intent. Writing down my thoughts has
deepened my spiritual insights. Writing
about God’s Word has helped me to learn and remember God’s Word. My faith and spiritual understanding have
grown. My Blog gives me the opportunity
to share my faith with many others. I
maintain the continued hope that my faith writings will be read by my grandsons
in the future.
This year has been a busy one. Richard and I have been re-doing the entire
upstairs in our Layton
home. Everything has been
topsy-turvy. I do not work well when
things are in disarray. I need quiet
time and space when I think, study, and write so I have not been writing as
faithfully as in the past. We now have a
little reprieve. We came to Pennsylvania to be with
Christa and Kris for the baby’s birth and will be here through the Holidays. In the beginning of September I started a
second Blog, lifeinthelightoftheword.blogspot.com In this Blog, I read, study, and write about
one Bible verse. I have tried to do this
shorter blog about 5 days each week. I
would encourage readers to read each Bible verse with me. I want your faith to grow with mine. I am writing this update on annasfaith.blogspot.com
to make followers aware of my newer posts on the new site. Both sites are connected if you go to the
first and click on my profile. My
thoughts and prayers are with all who join me in my Bible Verse Blog. Let us Live in the Light of The Word!
