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...
I know, more than any other person on this planet, how much you have to offer from the heart and soul that God continues to make more and more beautiful. I am excited to see where this goes!
ReplyDeletePlease believe me when I say, you are far from 'ordinary'. Looking forward to reading!
ReplyDeleteHow did you find me, Bekah? I wasn't going to let anyone know until I decided to commit. Guess I have to commit now that I have a follower! : ) Thanks for your kind words.
ReplyDeletehaha you commented on mine, and I followed you back here! I wont tell anyone that you are a "closet blogger"! haha
ReplyDeleteI am confident others will be blessed and encouraged with your writing! Excited to see where this goes for you!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog today from FB I believe. I read all of your blogs and think you are an awesome writer!! I think this is a great way for you to preserve your thoughts and your memories. If I were your child, in 20 years I think it would be awesome to read these!! Your children are very blessed to have you as their mother. Keep up the great work!
