The Reason for These Ramblings

September 23, 2009 by jbrianhill

Today marks 100 posts to this blog. In all honesty, when I started this back in April, I did not know where or even if it would go. I just knew that I needed to be involved in this avenue of connecting with people. So I began with honesty and transparency and have tried to stay true to that format.

The website is “Clay In The Hands.” I chose that title because it describes all of us. If you are a follower of the Jesus way, then you realize that all of us are in the process of being shaped and molded into the person God wants us to become just as clay is shaped by a sculptor. If you are a skeptic of the Jesus way of life, then I hope you realize that you too are being shaped and molded as well – that is a reality of life. The issue really is not whether or not we are being shaped and molded, but rather, who and what do we allow to mold us?

My prayer in all of this is that we all grow together, being molded into the likeness of Jesus.

This blog has served as a sort of journal of my progression or journey on this Jesus way. My intention has been, and continues to be, to share with all who will stop by and read, what God is teaching me along this journey in hopes that God will use my musings and ramblings to inspire, encourage or touch someone else. My prayer is that through this simple connection point, a new layer of community can be formed – a community of Jesus followers on the same path, all being molded similarly.

My commitment to you is that I will continue to share my thoughts, my struggles, my joys and the simple revelations God bestows on me. My challenge to you is to join in the dialogue. If you have never left a comment, that is ok – don’t feel pressure to do so. But the sharing of life together is how relationships – true community – are formed so I encourage you to join in. Share your thoughts and we all grow.

May God’s unfathomable grace fall on you today in a way unlike anything you have ever experienced.

Thanks for reading – I look forward to the growth we will all share in the next 100 posts!
