What!? A Blog?

I would like to start my very first blog by saying... I hate writing! Writing for me is like pulling teeth, slow and painful.  I've never liked writing for school. It didn't even matter what the assignment was for or if I liked the topic, I hated them all equally.  When writing for school you have to think about spelling, correct punctuation, paragraph formation, correct citation of sources used, and the rest of that grammar stuff.  Professors always had minimum page requirements or as I always thought of them as I just hope that I can think of enough things to say to get close to that number (I rarely ever had issues going over the maximum page limit). 

But here it's different.  No professor is going to grade my blog post and if people can't stand the fact that my grammar is atrocious then you don't have to read it :)  I might even write on blog post in on continuous paragraph just because I can.  And the best part is I can use the word "I"!  This may seem strange to some, but being an accounting student, most of my writing has been in the third person where the use of the word "I" is strictly prohibited.

Never in a million years would I have thought that I would decide to write a blog.  To me blogs have always been for people who enjoying writing and have something witty, profound, or a point of view that they want to share with the world.  I don't qualify for any of those requirements, but I'm going to put my thought out into cyberspace anyway.  Who knows, maybe one day, when I'm super old, I will reread this blog and remember who I used to be and be so grateful that God changed me into the woman He wants me to be.

I want to thank/blame/actually thank Sean for encouraging me to embark on this writing adventure.  At first I didn't think anyone would want to read what I have to say, but the he reminded me that it doesn't matter how many people read my blog, its about documenting what's going on in my life. Just like my own personal journal, only that other people are allowed to read this one.  

On my last note before I end my first post ever, I would just like to say that God likes to make me do things that I've told other people I would never do. Like write a blog.  So now I think I've learned to not tell people what I'll never do because whatever I tell them, God is going to make me do :)

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
