First Post

In the current days I've had wonders of thoughts circling my head and this is now my new outlet. Why I've chosen my new pseudonym is still unclear, and the reason or definition of Jokliem, well, it doesn't mean anything, I invented the name for the sake of an alias, this of course is of my business. Furthermore, if a writer is to have what he so desires, he must find himself free in the presence of freedom-from all forms of control and necessary means of formula, and this is why Jokliem fits well, it is none of the above, neither a name which gives me any property I haven't, nor a means to formulating victory over the commonalities of life. It is free, standing alone from all that might tame it--along with this characteristic it is new, not genuinly new as nothing on earth is, but new as defined by the fact that i just created it, or so I hope to believe. This newness gives it a hope for life that is full of light, because when something is new it has no darkness, and it is in the hope of newness that I seek to make Jokliem a mark of light, unhindered by any evil.

As for now, and you will see in the upcoming journey of Jokliem, things are joyous when things are made new. Joy is full of hope when it sees the light without blemish of darkness--this is for the benefit of grace, forgiveness, and all the characteristics of love. I dare not go much further in musing of such things when things have just started out as they have. But I must be constantly reminded, and you should as well, that without what we have--that is all that has been given to us by grace, we are nothing. For life itself is a gift of grace, and to live outside of this is to leave the bounds that hold life together, and to take these things which are not ours--as our lives are not, and do with them as we choose, rather than to be held in the hands of love.

I am Jokliem, servant of God, but one in much question with much to learn, and if I state nothing other than my purpose, here is my desire for my life, that I would first learn of God from everything and everyone around me--that nothing that I would convince myself is have is half as beneficial to the world as what the world has to benefit me as a servant of God. For I am first a servant of God, second a student of God's world, and anything beyond that is nothing for me to decide. That I may seek these things above all worldly desires, I cannot be fulfilled in the life that they would want me to have, only can I find a full life in the servitude of His Kingdom.

And without saying more, I must rest in need, for I have spoken once again before I have sought, and this I know is trouble in all forms.
