Ever since I was about 6, I've been keeping journals. I write..a lot. I write as much as two or three short entries some days, but other days I don't write at all. So, as much as I write my thoughts, I figured I would share some of them with whoever wants to read them. I'm fascinated by writing. I understand that some people write for artistic reasons, but that's not what I'm interested in here. I'm just intrigued by the way we are able to document and record our lives in writing. Also, you should know that I'm not a smooth talker. I stutter every now and then and often lose my train of thought in simple day-to-day conversations. That doesn't happen when I write. When I write, I'm free to take as much time as I need to express my thoughts clearly; I'm not caught off guard or put on the spot (which I hate!).
So that's the reason why I've started this. Now, what to write about? Well, my personal journal is filled with prayers, lamentations, praises, and general crying out to God. My life is about following Christ and I don't want to tiptoe around that, because everything that I am is His. When I write in my most personal journal, I don't put everything in a logical context because I don't write it with the general public in mind. I will probably write this blog the same way I write in my most personal journals, but for the general public's sake I will put everything into the context of what's going on in my life.
Have a good day :)
