Seeking Sundays: FTTF Returns!

Last year I felt a weight on my heart to start a blog devotional called Faith Through The Fire as a way of keeping myself accountable with staying in The Word and also as a way to reach out to friends and family, sharing what was on my mind and what God was speaking to me. I did a pretty good job of maintaining it for a while, but ultimately like most blogs it fell by the wayside. While a busy life and school were both contributing factors, I think the main cause was that I simply got bored keeping up with a biweekly blog in which every post required deep meditation and research. Don't get me wrong, it was a good idea and it certainly opened my eyes to a lot of things, but the fact remains that the last post was back in July.

Which leads me to today. I really like the layout of my old blog and its exclusive dedication to my walk with Christ. However, the devotional way it was originally written which included a quote from an important figure in American history which I then tied into a topic, is a little tedious for me to keep up with. Therefore, I've decided that I'm going to once again post on that blog but in a new format. Since keeping up with two blogs simultaneously is extremely difficult, here's what I plan to do: Sundays that I discuss more philosophical topics, ramblings, or just things in my life, I'll only post here on this blog. However most Sundays when I write in a more formal style, I'll post over there and then provide a link and brief summary here on this blog. I'll still continue to link this blog through Facebook since it's my primary.

If you've never seen Faith Through The Fire before, I strongly encourage you to check it out. I personally believe it's a great devotional resource which delves into a wide range of topics and scripture. Next week I'll start my new series of posts there, but go ahead and check it out and see what's already there. Old devotional topics there include: coping with the feeling of being overwhelmed, being perfect, following God's will, seeking wisdom in God, forgiving others, getting through challenging times, being a person of Godly character, changing for God, continuing the Christmas spirit, making mistakes, avoiding self deception, managing anger, and growing from failure.

I hope you find it useful and that God is able to use it to speak to you!
