The past few days I've been struggling about what to write about. I've had different ideas bounce around in my head but every time I think about who is actually going to read? Will they care what I have to say? Will they think negatively or positively about it? But then I realized today that it doesn't matter what others think! This is my blog, I can write whatever the heck I want. I shouldn't have to try and fit a specific mold or worry about offending others.
I think its been bothering me because lots of the things that I want to write about are religiously centered and I would hate to be that "Bible thumping Christian" that others can't stand. But I shouldn't have to apologize for my faith. Why should I apologize for something I believe in? Jesus didn't. He wasn't with a group of people just side stepping the topic of religion. He was with the people, showing his good works, sharing his love, proclaiming God's glory for whoever would listen. So why should I be shy? This could potentially be my mission field. I'll just have to wait and see what's in store for me.
Now, in saying this, I don't mean that every post will be God related. There will be posts here and there about what I'm learning through Christ and His Word but they will also just be my thoughts, my ideas, my stories about my day to day life. If you don't like it, or think this whole thing of mine is ridiculous, then there's an easy solution; DON'T READ IT. Problem solved. Sorry not sorry. But nobody is going to tell me what I can and can't share. Simple as that.
The past few years I have been living of the world, not just in the world. And I am going to change that. Yes, I'm still going to have a life. Yes, I'll still be the same person, but the difference will be that its more Christ centered. He should always come first. I should be overwhelmed and embraced by his love and grace. This is what I've been missing in my life. I've been trying to fill my emptiness with other things that are only temporary, but He is forever. God is eternal.
