Private Devotions has been in the blogsphere for one year. I’ve written all the articles, corrected some of the web design problems, and muddled my way through my first year of the website design process. It has been a year of learning.
Which is good for me, because I am a lifelong learner. A nerd, in fact. I am such a nerd that someone once called me that and I believed it was a compliment. Because I get a thrill out of learning new things. Not everything, but some things. When I set my mind to say, “I don’t know. I’m willing to learn,” I believe I make myself available to God in a way that is acceptable to Him (1 Chronicles 28:9; 2 Corinthians 8:12). The process has been difficult, and I have spent many days in frustration. But I am better because of it. I am contributing to the people of God in a way that I believe I am called by God to do.
I have also learned the truth of James 2:17-26. I wanted to do it. I believed that I could do it and that God would bless my efforts. I had faith that it would work out, even though I didn’t know how. (I still don’t quite know how.) One year later, the website is up and running because I did the work. I am still doing the work. I am getting positive feedback and people are saying, “Thank you.” And that is enough of the “how” for me.
