FMF-TO BARE IS TO CARE

START

IMAGE SOURCE
It is with great pleasure that I put fingers to keys to write here this morning.  For one, I have been hungering of baring my soul to blog, mostly for my own benefit for healing and for growing.  Another is to thank God for giving me the means to get hold of the net after being cut-off for a while.

The first place I go to, after checking on my mails and my friends' blogs, is the FMF.  I love the prompts given by Ms. Lisa-Jo every Friday because it stimulates my creativity and penning my thoughts and inner talks is a healing tool.


So here I come to bare for the prompt is "bare."

How else could one write thoughts and intentions without baring the soul?  Of course for self-healing, one has to be true to the pen.  And writing the truth in yourself requires courage.

I give thanks to God and to those who share their lives in the open for others to learn.  

For me, to bare is to share, and to share is to care.  So I urge my dear fellow-bloggers and journal-ers, please blog away or journal to your hearts' content.

Isn't writing like worship?  We go to the altar of God bare and transparent, humbly seeking Him in prayer and praise.  We come to bare our souls before our Maker and we write our souls in our blogs in the same manner, true and bare.  

STOP

I am writing for the prompt of the week FMF-Friday 02.08.2013-BARE.  The idea is write as candidly as you can for 5 minutes without over checking on spelling and grammar.  Then visit fellow-posts to encourage.

Click on the button and join FMF and find out too what others are saying about "bare." Go, what are you waiting for?

Five Minute Friday

    1. I have gotten back my office connection. What would keep me most from writing now is having lots of things to do.

      I will have more time as soon as our Financial Reporting season for the year ending 2012 is over. By them I could post more regularly.

  4. Lolita! It's great to have your writing again. :)

    Regarding your comment on my post "The Radical Choices after 'I Do'"...
    I'm so glad someone else wrestles with this too :)

    1. Yes, Jen. This is an answered prayer. Our office had cut-off our (the staff) internet connection since October. The children are manning the management positions now and are so strict.

      Since I needed to submit reports to the government online, they have no choice but to restore mine.

      So I made a resolve with myself not to abuse the privilege and would only post personal blogs when work permits. That is better than none at all. I may now blog every once in a while and make time to follow my favorites like your blog.

      I always hunger for the wisdom coming from your walk with Him.
