I think the scary thing about blogging for me is that your whole life is out there on the internet for everyone to see it. This can obviously be a good thing, but it can also be incredibly challenging, because you are truly laying yourself out there for people to see.
I have been convicted lately that maybe I have been operating out of fear, and not really being willing to be open and vulnerable. While it is much safer for me to stay in my little cocoon, maybe it is selfish. And as I venture out I realize I also need to be wise and careful.
But if anyone at all can benefit from the little I have to say and the things I go through then it is worth it. Life is not all about me and protecting myself.
It is hard to share some of those things that you do not know how people will react to. You are laying yourself on the line. But we are all to die to ourselves daily and live for others. How can I do less.
I am pretty sure this blog won't be entertaining, unless I am in a really silly mood, I know for sure there will be many who have much better things to say on the subjects that I write on. And even my limited experiences while very real to myself will perhaps not be all the amazing. But I need to share the little I can. That is all the Lord asks.
I'm pretty sure what will be one of the hardest blog posts for me to write is about the birth and diagnosis of my precious son who is special needs. But I know the Lord has allowed this and I pray that I will choose to use this for His good and His kingdom. I pray it will make my heart softer and more loving to others. I pray it will be used for God's purposes.
And as far as pictures on my blog.... well, that will yet to be determined, depending my bravery or lack there of. :)
Maybe I will actually be able to do this. I need to find that quote that inspired me......
