Bear with me!

Now, I am writing this blog to get my writing down. Many people throughout my whole life have told me I am a natural writer and they expect a publication at some point....what?!?!??? I mean I don't write for my own pleasure, and I certainly don't enjoy the restraints of proper grammar and good rhetoric. So why bother?


Understand that I think so much, I can never shut my thoughts off. Maybe that is just part of being female or maybe I don't "relax" enough at bedtime..but either way--it just doesn't shut off.  So, like I said in the first post, I have MANY random journals and notes and short stories and poems and songs recorded over the years in very many notebooks or journals. I think part of the purpose of this blog covers me sharing some of the work I have made so far. So I will do that, and it may be random, but my hope is that I can at some point look at this blog from start to where it presently ends and see a pattern, or a story, or a lesson....or all of the above!

but....I'm lazy! part 1

Something that has been on my heart over the past month is laziness. It started with the realization that my time is often spent thinking, therefore I do not watch movies or tv shows anymore. If I do, it is at the request of people I love or to catch the end of a season that I had been committed to all year, like Glee, Grey's Anatomy or Vampire Diaries. Granted, those shows are not keeping my best interests in mind, but I still push to watch them because of curiosity for the written work being produced. How will the stories end? Anyways. My point is, I don't listen to secular music 24/7, watch movies, read secular books or magazines, and play games anymore. I just don't have the time or the need.  Now, honestly, I am in my dorm room most of the day like whenever I don't have somewhere else to be. So really, it looks like Iam a slug, yes? I want to rebuke that. What good does it do me to be outside running errands all day? Or what about going to the gym or walking outside? If I'm inside, I'm reflecting on my thoughts, praying, doing homework, talking to others and praying for them, or resting for a short bit as the rest of my day will wear me out. I don't find that to be lazy. But there is more to come on this...just swallow that concept of filling time with entertainment. Does that mean we are lazy?

Keeping this post short.

Hey there! I have finally given in and am committing to a blog. I have started a few since middle school...forever ago...and a few journals and short stories as well.  Of course, nothing has ever been completed or updated on a more frequent basis than a few times a year! I am devoting my writing to the relationship I possess with God and why I am able to trust in His existence. I hope to share as much or as little, as often as He puts on my heart to do so, in hopes that someone out in the world may relate. It is a form of art, I suppose. This is making me vulnerable--which, in turn, reaches someone else who is vulnerable. Isn't that what art is? Someone creating something outside of themselves that shares who they are in some little or major way and that meaning reaches another person wherever they are in their life. Art. So, if for no other reason, this blog is my art. Thank you for stopping in!
