How it has been three years since An Iris Awaits was born is beyond me, but three-years-old it is! So
as we start its fourth year, I’d like to glance back, as we have done at every
other milestone, but this time I’m going to dedicate the most time to looking
forward, because I have an exciting announcement to share!
In the past year, the blog hasn’t seen quite as many posts
as years previous; other life responsibilities have often prevented me from
writing every other week as I originally began doing. But with God’s grace,
I’ve been able to keep learning, keep growing, and keep writing through it all.
Learning is a life-long process, and it is rarely something
done in isolation. God kindly teaches us through His Word, through resources,
through experience, and often through other people. Looking over my own life, I
count as treasures the people God has caused to cross my path, people He has
used to teach me in various settings and in numerous ways. I have often thought
that I wish everyone had the opportunity to know these men and women of God and
to learn from their wisdom.
This desire, combined with the wish to keep An Iris Awaits fully active during this
period of increased responsibilities, has led me to develop a new conversations
series, which I hope to unveil within the next month or so. In this series, you
will get to meet some of the men and women who have influenced my life and to
hear from them about a topic either they have taught me about or are passionate
about themselves—or both.
I am so looking forward to introducing you to each of these
individuals and to letting you glean from their knowledge and wisdom over the
next year. And in between these conversations, you’ll still find the same
challenging and encouraging Irises from me waiting there for you. So here’s to
year four and another chapter in the journey of growing in the knowledge of God
and in love for Him and for each other.
Thank you for journeying with me.
