Warrior

Good evening!

I know it’s been very common to start blogs and what not, but honestly this is something I should have PERSONALLY done a long, long time ago. I tried at the beginning of this year to do a 365 day photography blog, and when January 2011 hits, I hope to re-try that, because it didn’t work as well as I wanted it to the first time. We’ll see how it goes. 

I guess I should clear the air about somethings before I start to post serious stuff.

My blog’s name is -bellator- which is Latin for “warrior”. This is one of the things Yahweh calls me, and this is part of my purpose in life…to war. Namely for people. I love people, and I’m passionate about them, but just showing love and being passionate will not take me very far if I don’t fight for them and all they are to me - and more importantly who they are to Yahweh. So, I’m sure I’ll get questions about the name in the future, but I wanted to give a quick explanation. If you want to know more about me - you can click on right hand side of this page - the sub-page that is  titled: Lauren. 

Another thing I should clear the air about, is that I post in CAPS a lot. I know it’s a little ridiculous and people are probably over it, but it’s my way of expressing what needs to be said, and as I start blogging I may continue that or learn I don’t need to do that so much, but beware …I  love the caps lock button as of this very moment.

Now on to the serious stuff. 

I’m not going to say I’m excited to see where this blog goes, or anything along those lines, because it doesn’t matter to me where this goes. It can get popular or stay unknown in the vastness of the interweb we all surf every day. If there are people who want to keep up with me, then that’s absolutely fantastic, and if not, then I will just have a place to keep some things that stir in my heart… and when I want to, I can come back to this place and see what I wrote. Typing is faster than writing after all. 

This is a personal blog, but then again it’s not. I am putting myself out here to express what Holy Spirit has put in me, and this gift of writing has been sitting silent long enough. It’s time to give away from myself what Yahweh has given to me, and receive all that He gives me as I walk out my purpose and make a choice to call myself and walk out who and what I’m called to be.
