Random Thoughts with Tanya

I have been sitting on my thoughts for a couple of days trying to decide how I wanted to write this. Sunday morning was like any other morning where I pray about what is on my mind and ask God to give me the answers I need. Little did I know I know he was going to deliver them that day via Pastor Jordan.

The message that day was about pruning the dead or sick things in our lives that keep us from producing fruit just as we would a tree or a plant that has a dead or sick branch. I knew right then I was going to need some tissue. I had already started the pruning process in my life by clipping a few leaves and even cutting a branch. One thing Pastor Jordan did say is not to hack the tree down and I have been known to do that in the past. I did however realize that I still have some pruning to do.

Sometimes we have this beautiful plant or tree that just won’t bloom because of dead or sick branch that is taking its nutrients from it. I had make a remark to someone not all that long ago that not only was I thriving, but I was blossoming. We are all meant to blossom. At the first site of a tiny weed or sick leaf get to tending before your tree is damaged.

Today has been a long time coming. I have been waiting for this day for a while now. I have been asked over and over if I journal and the answer is that I do not. There is something about writing in a book to myself that does not feel satisfying to me. I don't feel the release that people who journal get by journaling. I love a deep conversation with people and having those thoughts only to close the book makes be feel like my thoughts are still trapped in my head. I decided that if I could blog I would be able to have the best of both worlds. I could have express those deep conversations I long to have as well journal at the same time. My readers can decide what might be helpful to them and its a win for everyone wins. My blog topics will be on a variety of things.
