then the Lord answered me, "write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. for the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
habakkuk 2:1-3
God has spoken to me so many times through out my life with this verse. i have it posted all over my house, in paintings i've done, and it was even read in my wedding. i believe that God speaks to us so often and calls us to do things, yet many times, i know for myself, i ignore it, or run from the idea because i'm scared i will mess up His calling or i don't have the patience to allow Him to work. he has used this verse so often in my life to remind me that he is bigger than my short comings and that he will prove true on his promises. when i say that out loud, or write for the world wide web, it is harder for me to change my mind about who God called me to be.
when i was younger i wrote down everything. i have 2 full boxes of prayers and journals and requests to God. i always found so much comfort in writing my thoughts down to God and keeping a written record of what He was doing in my life. somewhere in the busyness of growing up i lost that habit of writing my life down. i not only lost my records with that choice, but the blessing of seeing how God has been changing me and working in my life. this is my effort to regain the wisdom of my youth.

so this is me, writing it down, so the HERALD may run with it.
