This is the first group writing project I’ve done on FTSA. Let me tell you how it works, and how you can participate. A group writing project is when everyone and anyone that wants to participate can. You participate by writing a post on your blog related to the given theme and then submit the link to your post to the project starter (a.k.a. me).
It’s a great chance to meet new bloggers and be met by others. It’s a chance for those in perpetual writers block to have an idea. And it’s a chance for us all to go somewhere significant and deep in God, together.
How you can Participate
To participate all you have to do is write (or have already written) a post related to intimacy with God.
It can be any type of post, as long as it is on topic.
Once you have your post then let me know via my contact form and I will compile them and publish a link lists. (You may also let us know about your post using the comments on this thread.)
Power to the Writers & Readers
After the links are published I encourage you to read other’s posts.
If you like what they said then leave a comment on thier site, and put together your own link lists of your favorite posts. Hopefully you’ll find some new sites you didn’t know existed.
Posts Written So Far:
- Six Great Quotes on Intimacy With God
- Intimacy With God
- Intimacy with the I AM
- Intimacy with God: Dissatisfied
- I want to know Him
- The Paradox of Surrender
- One Lion, Swift of Foot
Let the writing, reading, commenting and linking begin…

Ruth - There is no rule on what the post is. It can be your 10 ten favorite things about the love of God or 5 ways to love God better or a story of how you encountered the love of God.

Stephanie, The Paradox Of Surrender was an AMAZING post. Thinking that Jesus has gone through the same human emotions is really mind-blowing. How can God feel temptation? Did Jesus ever feel ‘dry seasons’, or how could he ever feel dry seasons when he knows the Father directly? ah..too many questions that don’t even make sense! haha
You’ve made me think a lot. Congratulations!
