In The Beginning...

Hi. I'm Audrey Hanson. Most people who have blogs talk maybe about their great adventures, or just their life, or maybe they put up pictures that they've taken. But this is going to basically be the heart of Audrey, laid out on the table. Things that I think about, learned, or maybe just want to know. The first thing that came to mind that was just on my heart was this: how strange we people are. I mean, I sometimes laugh to think that God sits up in heaven just shaking His head and laughing at us. We are just so stupid sometimes! Example number 1: "Snakes On A Plane". Okay, that's not really a good example but I just wanted to put out there..what a lame plot/title for a movie! So what got me thinking about this was, in my relationship with God, sometimes when things go wrong, I pull the "abandon ship" move. When ever the going gets tough, I just jump off board. And when I'm drowning in the waters, and I KNOW how to get back on board, I don't. Maybe some explanation is called for here. For me, personally, I love having this great connection with God. He's my Best Friend, and my Beloved, and so many more things!! But as soon as my spirit is broken by the weary ways of the world, I forget how amazing this connection with Him is, and I fall away, just by not doing the simple things. By reading His love story to us, and just talking to Him like He's your closest friend, that instills a sweet peace inside of me. For a couple of weeks this connection has been broken for me, only because I am being the stereotypical human. Why is it when we know what to do and that we should do those simple things and restore our relationships, it's just so hard? I don't know. But there is a transcending peace that I have to look forward to, and it's just out of my reach, and I mean to grab onto that.



"The purposes of God point to one simple end—that we should be as he is, think the same thoughts, mean the same things, possess the same blessedness." –George MacDonald

LET A MAN THINK AND CARE ever so little about God, he does not therefore exist without God. God is here with him, upholding, warming, delighting, teaching him—making life a good thing to him. God gives him himself, though the man knows it not.--George MacDonald
