I say it's a beginning but it's really just a demarcation. A point of reference where something shifted or changed but really I've been writing since middle school. So you might say that this entry is the first time I am publicly writing. That would be accurate. I think there really was only one beginning and I was not there. But I was in His mind, He knew me, He thought of me, He planned for me...in The Beginning.
Most of what I do, write, think, believe is a picking up on where someone else left off or adding to what has already been. There is only one who created stuff out of nothing and therefore actually engaged in a "beginning". But He is compelling me to expose my thinking to others, which I do with much trepidation. I'm not sure that any of it is really original, as I said I am picking up or combining and remixing what is already out there. Who am I or any of us to claim originality?
But it is time to shift and take what has been private, written in journals or rumbled around in my head and give it some order and expose it for examination from others.
So may this post be the pillar of stones that can remind me of when it began. To help me remember that it is a result of the mysterious mixing of my desires and His and that I am not alone in turning this direction. He drew me, He shaped me, he thought of this beginning at The Beginning.
