My first blog entry..... I never thought this day would come. You see, a year ago I promised myself I wouldn't follow the crowd into the blogging world. My fear was that a personal blog for me would be taking another step towards becoming a full-fledged narcissist; a blog, this blog, would become another avenue in which I would start to think I am bigger and more important than I really am.
That was a year ago. Now, I'm a little older and hopefully a little wiser too. Hopefully. I'm starting this blog for a couple different reasons. The first is because I think I am supposed to. It's been on my heart for a while to start blogging but I never could get myself to make the move. I don't know if it was laziness or a fear that I would be considered a "crappy blogger", but for some reason I feel like it is time to finally take the plunge. The second reason is that I will have an outlet for some of my thoughts. Working as a youth minister means that my life consists of constant chaos. Maybe this blog will give me a chance to clear some space in head and help me think more clearly. Who knows?
And what are my hopes and goals for this blog? To become well known? No. To write inspiring and deep words that touch the hearts of everyone who comes across it? Na.
Let me say that there is nothing that I can or will say in this blog that hasn't been said before, or that someone else couldn't articulate more eloquently. But I will speak (write?) Truth. A Truth that was passed on throughout the centuries and was taught to me. A Truth that brings light into our dark and confusing world. A Truth that can cut through the hurt and pain in our lives and make us whole again. A Truth that brings us to God. Jesus. That is what this blog is for. And Jesus is who this blog is about.
