Welcome to the blog

Welcome to Remaining Evergreen

Let's do this again :)

Okay, I have a lot of mixed feelings starting this blog again. This blog existed a little while back and it gave me so many problems I deleted it (well not entirely true, because it stopped functioning before I did, well.. long story). So I am doing it again. Hopefully this time it will be different. After deleting the first website, I never thought I'd find myself doing this again. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing and sharing what the Lord has been teaching me but I just didn't want to blog again. I even created a newsletters for a while which have been blessing my heart as I wrote them. But my heart won't rest until I have a website for all the writing. So hopefully after publishing this website my heart will be at ease again.

After much procrastination, here we are. For the longest time, I have been so afraid to start this blog out of the fear of how some might perceive it or me. But over here, we do things afraid. :)

I just want to make it known to all of you friends that I am just an ordinary girl who loves Jesus and is willing to be used by Him. I would like to say that I am a good Christian girl who makes no mistakes and that I am always right, but I would be lying if I said I did. I am still struggling with laziness and I'm trying to be a good steward of my time.

Now I know you're wondering why I told you all this, but that is so you realize that I am still struggling with things, there are mistakes I make and I fall short in so many things which disqualifies me from saying anything. However, I do not need to be correct, I just need to be authentic and honest about where I'm at. As well as be willing to be used by God in every area of my life.

In this world of needing to be an expert or a specialist in order for people to take you seriously, I found myself desiring to be the strongest person whom everyone can lean on. However, it is not realistic to place those expectations on myself or anyone else for that matter. I had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, and if I continue to wait until I am perfect to start this blog, I will wait until I get to heaven. As the Word says; "Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” Ecclesiastes 11:4

Therefore, even as incapable as I feel at this present moment I will publish this blog. So join along on this journey of Remaining Evergreen as we plug into our source, the Lord Jesus Christ. He sustains us.
