My First Blog!

Alright, Lilia Beldon. :-) You inspired me. Although my words not as fancy and my attitude not always as chipper to say the least, there is something about being able to express my inner thoughts that intrigues me. Granted, I know I have people out there that are willing to listen to just about anything I have to say or felt led to say. The problem with me is that, contrary to popular belief, I might just not be willing to say it in person. Thus the contents of this blog, and probably a few random, silly thoughts here, there, and yonder.

So, why, you ask, did I choose to name this blog, "Deliver Me"? Well, my feathered friends, these two words have come to mean a lot to me recently.

First of all I am a Christian, delivered from my sin by the grace of God sent to us through Jesus Christ, my Savior. Though I can claim my spot in Heaven because of His mercy, I still need deliverance from my sin each and every day.

Lord, from my sin, Deliver Me.

Second, I have a lot of thoughts hidden inside my tee-tiny brain that keep me from being myself on most occasions. I am an only child, and though I was considered the outgoing "class clown" by my schoolmates early in life, there was and is still a sense of being "the last one chosen for dodge-ball" in my mind. Most of the time I think I create it myself, but some days I just can't get around the fact that I seem to be everyone's last care or priority.

Lord, from my thoughts, past and present, Deliver Me.

Third, as I set forth in my journey as a nurse, I feel that the Lord's will is for me to be a midwife and help all mommies bring beautiful babies into this world. Nurse midwives are mentioned in the Bible as early as Genesis 35, simply adding to my excitement as I begin to serve the Lord in my spiritual calling and ministry as a nurse. Nothing inspires me more than to think of all the women and babies I may get the opportunity to deliver during my life as a nurse.

Lord, to Your will for my life, Deliver Me.

So, here goes... this blog will be filled, on occasion, with thoughts and feelings I need to share, or maybe never should have typed... we'll see! I'd be honored if you'd share this journey with me!
