There are so many reasons why I shouldn’t have a blog. But blogging is good for me. I hope if nothing else, seeing me blog will encourage you to do something that is good for you. Even if no one ever reads my blog, putting my heart and thoughts out into cyberspace does two things for my soul.

1. It holds me accountable.

When I go back and look at my previous blogs, I’m held accountable to the truth that I am in fact still that person. A majority of the time, I am humbled by seeing how ridiculous I have been. At other times, I see glimpses of God’s heart in mine and I’m reminded of who I can be.

2. It forces me to be present.

In the past, I have had a hard time being still. Even when my body was physically in one place my heart, or mind, rushed around in another. It’s time for me to embrace this place. This is about me enjoying where I am right now in life and stop comparing it to where  I “should be” or where I will be (Lord willing) in the future.

I hope that I can encourage you to embrace this place too.
