A Start

I am not a blogger.

I have not ever had the desire to blog.  I love to journal, but you can't really blog the way that you journal, well at least not the way that I journal.  I think that would be too transparent; I have too much junk.

So, why start a blog?

This is a very good question and one I have been asking God a lot over the several days.  Really?  A blog? I am not a writer.  Sure, I wrote lots of papers in college.  Yes, I grade a plethora of papers as a professor, even claiming to help them become better writers.  But, I am not a writer.  (If you are a writer  you probably have already found some good errors in the few sentences that I have written.  Thankfully I have spell check, so the spelling should pass the test for the most part.)

Still the idea of starting a blog continues to linger.

So I have been trying to think of something witty that I should write about or something profound.  What can I help people with?  Where can I be an encouragement?  What is something special or different about me?  I am a pretty ordinary person, I think.  I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend, a teacher and I am in love with my Creator.  

I do value living a real and transparent life in front of others. Maybe this is something that I can offer.  Maybe this should just be like my journal.  If I am too transparent, you can just stop reading, right?  : )

I am not a blogger.  But, maybe I will become one...
