A year has passed.
I’m blowing the dust off the blog, and getting back into my writing. I initially took a break because I found that my motivations for writing had lapsed from being devotional toward becoming a walk through a lesson plan. Being a teacher by nature, I struggle with this quite often, and so I have to mix up my methods to keep my heart in the right place as I have my daily encounters with God.

It’s silly to say that a lot has happened over the past year, because a lot naturally happens in the course of 366 days (it’s a leap year) but it really has for us. I’m not going to try to walk through all of that today, but bits and pieces will make their way through over time.

For now, suffice it to say, I am beginning a new rotation through my devotional time. I am two weeks into a new prayer schedule that I am really enjoying, and my desire to be up and moving super early is coming back.

I may reflect on my daily reading, my prayer time or even on something from another author or minister during this time. I have several people who ask me questions about faith & practice on a regular basis, so I may work through my thoughts & answers in this format, too.

Regardless of where we may find ourselves a year out from the last time I wrote, may God bless you & keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you & bring you His peace.

In Christ,
Ben
