I have seasoned this website with prayer and not rushing into things to prevent crash and burn. Several things have confirmed to  what my first blog must be focused on that goes along with the theme "The Simple Gospel"

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary website, Simple is defined many ways but the definition I want to focus on is that it is something that is "Readily understood or performed". (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simple)

In the beginning God made everything simple yet complex in design. When sin entered the world, simple turned to confusion and chaos because man stopped living in the presence of God. This caused an snowball effect that has brought chaos down from generation to the next.  In this first blog, I want to focus on the Word of God about learning to return to the simple Gospel and learning to rest in God's presence. No frills, No entertainment, and No schedule; just simply doing as Adam and Eve did when they walked with God in the garden in the cool of the day.

I write this not to gain attention but to learn with you. I am in the early stages of learning all this myself. It is vital we learn this as children of God, to simply rest and return to our first love.

I am depending on Holy Spirit to guide me on each blog. I pray each blog lifts you up and blesses you!

Genesis 1:1 NASB95
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 2:1-3 NASB95
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. [2] By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. [3] Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

Genesis 3:8 NASB95
They heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

I am going to keep each blog short with small reflections and scriptures to study. This one was mainly intro blog and give a sense of direction of where the Spirit is leading me right now. In the next few blogs ahead, we will deep dive into bible verses about the good news of Jesus and how it is connected to us learning to rest in Father God's arms!

Blessings!
