The Meaning of Life and Other Assorted Thoughts

It was only a matter of time before I started a blog. I am already on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/MinstrelBear?feature=mhee) for my music and DeviantArt (http://minstrelbear.deviantart.com/) for my drawings; now I have somewhere for my writings.

I have recently come back from a conference where we were studying 2 Timothy. For those who haven’t read it (or may have forgotten it) 2 Timothy is a letter from Paul to... well, Timothy. It is a letter of encouragement and instruction among other things. Paul was entrusted with the Gospel – the good news and the truth – and was now entrusting it to Timothy. He was passing the baton on so to speak. God has entrusted, enlisted and equipped us with His message and has sent us out spread the word; to ‘make disciples of all nations’ (Matthew 28:19).

Now you might be saying, ‘that’s really cool and all, k_bear, but what’s it got to do with blogging?’ Well, um... probably not a lot actually. Although it is one of the reasons I decided to start blogging.

Being the creative person I am, I do enjoy writing. I find writing and journaling a great way to grow closer to God – it makes me stop a while and reflect on God’s word; think about what He’s done for me; meditate on who He is; and consider how I can apply His teachings to my own life. So now I would like to share these thoughts and reflections with you and I pray God might use these simple words to bless you and perhaps bring you closer to Himself.

I would like to finish off with a simple truth I have learned recently:
The most important thing in life is to have a strong and personal relationship with God.
The meaning of life is to be used by God.

God bless,
