Brand New

I've never had a blog before. My husband has one and his is very good. I guess that's what struck up my interest in creating this blog. Part of the reason I've never had a blog is I don't consider myself a writer and I figured if I'm not a writer then I shouldn't post things online that other people can read to save myself embarrassment. I'm even embarrassed about that last sentence. I think it's too long. Also, if there actually is anyone reading this blog, you'll will eventually find out that I am a horrible speller, my grammar is atrocious, and a lot of my writing might even be... boring (if it is please do not comment on my blog that it is, for the sake of my pride; besides it took a lot of my guts just to finally make one of these and you wouldn't want to be the person that hurt my feelings and make me never want to write again, would you?).

Now that I've confessed that I don't consider myself a writer I will also confess that I love to write. I've had journals and diaries since I was young and when I got to college I started spending all of my devotional time journaling my prayers to God. What convinced me to finally start a public journal (aka my blog) was when I was spending some quiet time with God on my balcony reading through some old notes of mine that I had taken at a music and worship leaders' conference. I started having some thoughts on some of my notes (which were of course recorded in a journal) and wished that I had someway I could write down my thoughts and ideas without adding to the pile of journals I already have next to my bedside. My husbands blog came to mind and I thought it would be a good way of expressing my thoughts about my notes and if someone so happened to stumble upon my blog online and decided to comment on something, all the better.

I've never been good at ending things that I write, especially essays for school. I know the conclusion should be the easiest part of the whole essay because you're just bringing together everything that you've already said, but I'm just not good at it. It's easier in my prayer journals because all I have to say is Amen and it's done. But how do you end a blog? See I'm still writing because I can't end this one. Well I'm ending it now. This will be the last word. Really.
