I recently read a blog that went over the one month thinking paradigm of what they felt their blog meant to them. I will do the same, because it sounded like a great idea. Even though I surpassed a month a little while ago.
I have noticed a couple of things that as I have gone through this time of writing that I feel grateful to share with you all.
I love to write
I love to write about what is going on in my head. I love the fact that there is something in my world, and I can put it down on the internet so that I can hear about people’s thoughts and reactions to what I am feeling. In a small way I would say this is probably because I am selfish. I want to believe that out there somewhere, I am not the only one going through or thinking what I am.
I am shocked you read
I am pretty shocked that you guys read my blogs. To me it is not so much that you read it, but that I can express what I feel is important to express. The fact that you all read matters, as I will share shortly, but I am shocked that you read at all. I am even more pleasantly surprised when you read and comment. To see, also, some people even subscribe is crazy to me. Thank you all. You have surprised me in the best way.
It matters to me that you read
Yes, it matters to me. Sometimes I get on here and see that no one has read, instantly I am drawn to write something that captures your hearts and minds. I know this is probably really ridiculous, but I love to write this stuff. As stated, it surprised me that you read at all, and it is kind of like a drug. It is not for you that I write, but I acknowledge that I enjoy that you read what I do write. It matters to me.
I want this blog to matter
I find the more I write about my personal thoughts, or my personal experiences, the more I want this blog to capture the hearts and minds of the readers. I want it to matter. I want it to change your lives as it has/is changing mine. Not so much the pictures, or the background, or even the fact that I am the one writing. Do not even get caught up in the words I use, just know that my goal is to write about a real relationship with Jesus. My goal in writing about that real relationship with Jesus is that you may know one. In your own way, but on His terms.
I wish I knew who you were
I wish I knew who you, who read, were. I wish you would all comment so that I could thank you personally for furthering one of my passions and locking it into my heart. I love writing, and I love writing for a change. I appreciate, more than I can describe through text, your dedication to reading this blog. I hope you find it engaging, and encouraging and that soon, you will comment on a post so that I can say thank you for reading. If you do not comment ever, this is me saying thank you for reading.
