Blogging is one of those things that I have tried to do many times. I am not sure why I feel compelled to start another one when numerous blogs that I have started in the past have met a slow death, but alas I must start again. There is something about being in a new stage of life that makes you want to conquer things that have defeated you in the past.
I have decided to blog this time for a number of reasons. First, this stage in my life has removed me from many of the people whose direction and encouragement I miss greatly. My hope is that those relationships can be maintained, even cultivated, by the sharing of my random thoughts. Second, I realize that I am not the only one who struggles with the practical aspects of what the call of God means for my life. I pray that what I go through might be an encouragement to others who find themselves in a similar situation. Lastly, I think that there is great benefit in being able to look back and remember what the Lord has brought you through, both to remind you of your victories and defeats. So if nothing else this will just be an online journal so I do not forget who I am and what I have done. Let’s see if this blog will die or not….. only time will tell.
