I have been absent from blogging for a few weeks, first due to an illness, then due to traveling to a speaking engagement. I really miss reading all of your blogs because they are so uplifting. I also have missed writing for my Lord.
Have you ever wondered why God gifted you with the ability to write? And how you are to use that marvelous gift?
I wonder about this. I wonder why God led me to blog, and to write a Bible Study. I think the answer is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” Through the gift God has given us, we lift each other up.
1 Corinthians 14:26
What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Romans 14:19
So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual up building.
May you be lifted and encouraged today.

My longing to read your post was pay off this evening. You are right. We need to encourage one and another and our Lord commanded to us..Amen. have a blessed weekend to you sis..
Julie, thanks for being an encourager and edifier … I also find one of the greatest aspects of writing to be discovery … both of God and of self. Good post and welcome back!

Makes sense now, I hadn’t seen you around lately. I hope you are well now.
God is so good, how can we not write about Him.
Hey Julie. How did your speaking engagement go? God bless, bob
Bob, Thanks for asking. It went well. God saved my voice.
YES Julie- you were such a blessing to the ladies in Kansas City– and I look forward to sharing time with you again, and hearing what else God has for you to share. I was so happy that God healed you for those moments.
Are you well? Blessings to you my friend
Hi Delinda, Yes, almost well! And God is so good to let me speak for those few moments. I do hope we can do it again sometime.
Blessings to you and best of luck at Sacramento!
I envy you sis for being able to have speaking engagement.How I wish i will be like yours too one day =)
Hi- If that’s what you want to do, let others know. Start by asking to speak at small church groups. You will be asked to speak at other events before you know it.
Blessings!
