Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, Wings of Faith! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it. Here is my first entry of my very first blog. I'm not exactly sure how it all works, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. 

This blog is going to be about my commitment to reading the Bible in one year. I will post weekly reflections about the verses I read and how it relates to my life, and how I can apply it to my life. 

There are many reasons why I wanted to start this blog:

1. I love to write. 

2. I want to strengthen my relationship with God.

3. I have always wanted to read the entire Bible, and I thought this was a wonderful way to accomplish that. 

4. I have been going through a lot lately, and I know I could use some support. 

5. I have been battling some struggles within myself, and I know this will help me reflect upon this journey and I can hopefully overcome my struggles.

6. I hope to reach others through my reflections and help them realize they are not alone. Everyone goes through hard times, and God is always there to help.

7. I feel like I have been making wrong decisions and have been straying off the right path. I need to learn to listen to God and His plan for me.

8. I want to give others hope and knowledge that they can always turn to God, not just in bad times, but also in good times.

9. I want to remember every single day that I have God, family, and friends who love and support me. 

10. I feel in my heart that God has been encouraging me to write this blog. 

This is day one of my one-year commitment. So, I will be posting the first entry after week one!

So excited to go on this journey! I hope someone out there will be inspired and benefit from my writing!
