It’s been a week since my first post about vulnerability and I’ve been debating where I wanted to go next. I’ve been writing for a long time and most of the stuff I write can easily be adapted to be a blog post but I’m being led to make this more personal, more focused on what God is speaking to me right now. Occasionally I’ll post something I wrote awhile ago and speak about how I was feeling at that point but not on a frequent basis.

So for blog post number two, no pressure on me or anything.  I discarded a lot of ideas before God told me I should just tell them how I was led to being vulnerable. For a lot of my life and even now I prefer to take a less noticed approach. I don’t like people knowing what acts of kindness I do or see the emotions that run through my heart. But a few years ago I started writing the Beloved Letters, a series of letters from me to God telling Him all the reasons I love Him. And in return He started telling me the same, speaking more life into the name He gave me. I had to first be vulnerable with Him before I could find my balance in being vulnerable with people. Granted I’m not vulnerable with many people yet but the two I am vulnerable with have given me wisdom that never would have come to me on my own. And as much as I need God, He has reminded me that loving others and knowing their stories gives more context to His glory. No two people experience the love of God the same way and I have seen more life come to my relationship with God for knowing and seeing their relationships with Him as well.

I guess I will be doing a little series on vulnerability to start off this blog of mine. Didn’t intend to but the ultimate point of this is to glorify God and I will write about what He leads me to.
