First step

I've always wanted to make a blog, but for some reason, I have never gotten to doing it.  I feel like God has put it on my heart recently to share my thoughts and experiences through blogging.  I am always inspired by other blogs and maybe I can do the same for others.

I guess I should share a bit about who I am.  Well, I'm Chantale, I'm 19 and I'm a Christian, I struggle daily with sin, but through God's love and grace, I am forgiven.  My goal in life is to live the life that God wants me to lives.  I am writing a blog in the hopes of inspiring others, through testimony, experiences and thoughts.  I also hope to have some fun with it too, by sharing recipes, crafts and day-to-day things... You will learn that I LOVE crafting and baking.  I really do think it's a gift from God.  Oh and I have a passion for traveling as well.

When I first decided to start my blog, I struggled with what I should name it.  I wanted something that would be glorifying and could keep the blog open to many oppurtunities.  The reason I chose "Walk in love," is so that I could talk freely of my faith and show God's love.  Love can be expressed in so many ways:   love for friends, family and children, love for baking or crafting, love of traveling and music, love for those who don't even know it and especially, love for God.  My challenge to you, is to tell those closest to you that you love them, because you never know when it will be too late.

There is so much I want to share in this blog, but I need to save some for next time, but for now, I leave you with one of my favourite verses about love:

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.

(1 John 4:18-19 ESV)
