Hi.\u00a0 My name is Angela Foss, and I am a most unlikely blogger.\u00a0 Though I’ve spent most of my life in school (and even became a college\/university professor around a decade ago when I was in my early thirties), I have been resistant to technology.\u00a0\u00a0 I am still “old school.”\u00a0 I prefer to sit down over a cup of hot tea or coffee, look you in the eye, and hear your story while encouraging you as much as I can.\u00a0 I do realize now though, finally, that I need to boldly venture out from where I’m most comfortable.<\/p>\n
God has given me a story I feel overwhelmingly compelled to share.\u00a0 I’ve done that most recently through publishing what is essentially the journal I kept throughout a sick season that began in my mid-thirties.\u00a0 I, like I imagine many people do when they become critically ill, felt as if I had much to hash out with God when my health fell completely apart.\u00a0 And for reasons I still don’t fully understand, I could find very little rest, even once I was well, until I decided to expose my “God talks” to any and everyone who is willing to step into my story with me.<\/p>\n
People often say everyone has a story, and I find it hard to imagine anyone can effectively argue against such an assertion.\u00a0 There is indeed power in sharing stories.\u00a0 I simply cannot find any way to believe that we were made to keep our stories to ourselves.\u00a0 And that’s why I’m blogging now.<\/p>\n
We all have our reasons for choosing to step out and share our lives with people whom we may well never even meet down here.\u00a0 My biggest reason is that I want to encourage as many people as I can in as many places as I can to give God a chance.\u00a0 And I’m not just talking about people who choose to not believe in God or to believe that one cannot really even know if God is real; I’m talking to, perhaps even principally to, people who do believe, Christ followers, of which I am one.<\/p>\n
Thank you for joining me as I step out to share my story in a manner that is far from the comforts of my “old school” method of operation.\u00a0 My hope is to share weekly, so please return as often as your own story allows.\u00a0 I look forward to us getting to know one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
