The Why

Everyone has a different view on life, on the Bible, on just about everything you can imagine. Personally, I love to get other people's views and learn what's been going on in their life and what they've been learning about themselves and God. There have been many times in my life that I have learned something or discovered something and I haven't had the ability to let people know and maybe enlighten them maybe just a little more, or cause them to think a little more about the issue.

One of the issues I ran into while creating my blog was the name. I'm definitely not the only blogger who's had an issue coming up with the PERFECT blog name, so I'm not going to pretend to be. But I wanted to give some insight into why I chose THIS name. Since this is going to be a somewhat serious blog, I wanted a somewhat serious name that had more than just face value. So began the incredible journey to find a name that would accomplish all of that. And along came "Wadi." A wadi is generally an oasis in the midst of a wasteland. This has a couple meanings in regards to my blog and my life. 1. Life in this world really is hard and many times we are looking for a place to rest. A place that is safe and will stay that way for the long run. Jesus is that resting place for me, and for many others. Secondly, I want my blog to be different than many blogs that are full of social junk and gossip. I want my readers to feel safe when reading my blog, but I also want them to feel challenged. A life without challenges really isn't a life at all. If we go through our Christian walk without once feeling struggle then something's not right.

Another thing I want to mention about my blog. This isn't about me and I don't want it to be. Everything I'm sharing has been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. In no way do I think I know everything, because I absolutely don't. You are welcome to disagree with anything I say because I'm not perfect. I actually encourage you to start thinking about things I say and come up with your own opinion.

 I hope you will walk with me on this journey of revelation.
