When I originally started this blog, it was going to be a place where I could share teaching with anyone who would care to listen. Which isn't necessarily a bad idea, but the problem came because I put a lot of pressure on myself to only enter posts that were well thought and and researched. That's a problem because it makes it all a little too sanitized. And something that I'm coming to realize is that sanitized teaching is like hiding behind a facade.
So I'm back, but I want to take an entirely new approach. That doesn't mean that I won't, on occasion, spend the time to put together a well thought out post, but that isn't going to be the emphasis.
What I want to do is take a journey. It's a journey of faith (and I will get back to that topic soon) and also one of abundance. For too long I have thought in terms of what I have to do and what God can't do, or won't do for some reason. What I have ended up doing is thinking in terms of limitation and scarcity rather than abundance. And because that way of thinking is habitual, it has caused, and continues to cause, problems in my life.
Something that I want to accomplish through this blog is that I just simply share with everyone the process of change that I'm going through as I go from scarcity to abundance.
One thing that I won't be doing here is talking about reaching a certain level of financial wealth. I do believe that having more money than we need for our day-to-day lives is part of abundance, and I am not, like so many others, going to say, "Abundance is more than just money..." Yes, it is MORE than that but it also definitely includes that. We can't live an "abundant" life unless we have more money than we can consume, in other words until we have enough coming in that we can freely (emotionally) give and serve others with our treasure (money) as well as our time and talents.
The posts may not be as neat and pretty, although I hope that they will still be easily understood, but I hope that they will be real.
God bless,
Rob
