God was prompting me for a while to create a blog for myself where I could display some of my poetry and to have a page for sharing about Jesus. I kept putting it out of my mind because I had no idea how to do it. I had limited knowledge of the computer, in fact you could say I was completely computer illiterate. It was only about 1½-2 years prior that I actually got a computer, and just over a year prior that I got onto the Internet. I didn’t even know how to work the mouse when I first got the computer - now I have a blog!!! Every now and then God would bring back the idea of creating a blog site to my mind. Finally, this year (2013) I decided to give it a go. I felt like how Peter must have felt when he got out of the boat and walked on water. This was an unknown area for me. I had a lot of attack in my mind when trying to do things unfamiliar to me. Negativity such as ‘you’re too thick to do this’, ‘only intelligent people can do this’ etc…I haven’t got much of an educational background, so this was a weak area that Satan used to attack me in. I felt like giving up many times, but the desire to see it come to fruition was strong, and it was this that kept me persevering with it.

I’m finding now that when I finish a page, I have more ideas for other pages to add to it. It’s like it’s branching out into different areas - and my writing is also branching out into different areas. I felt as though God was saying to me ‘you didn’t know how to create a blog either’!!! So I thought there’s really no excuse. God obviously wants to stretch me and expand my writing. It is challenging, but I'm excited about it.

The reason I share this with you, is to hopefully inspire and encourage you to step out and do what God has laid on your heart to do, despite what others may think or say. Despite what limitations you may think you have. God will equip you and place people across your path to help you. There comes a growth within ourselves when we step out in faith, as well as being able to minister into other people’s lives. Let God ‘expand’ you. Let God ‘stretch’ you. And see what He can do through you. So if you have a dream or a vision God has placed within, all I have to say is ‘Rise up, Go forth and Do’.

God Bless You!!!
