Thanks for sharing your thoughts Justin. My "blogging" started as a website, posting stories that I call my "glorified journal". You touched on a sensitive nerve when you talked about the "why" behind my blogging. I truly believe that I share my stories in hopes that they will bless others, but somewhere in the recesses of my pride-filled abyss I ask myself "why do I think anyone cares about my life to take time to read my journal?" But as you also shared, it is "my" journal and I return to it often and the person it blesses most is ME! I need to remember where I've been and how the Lord is growing my character. I still hope that my site blesses others, but thankfully I have taken the time to jot them down because I ENJOY IT! Had I not, those sweet memorable lessons would have been lost or at best, become a hazy shadow. You have encouraged me to dust off notes in my archives and consider their potential. Thanks for reminding me of that!
