why write this?

So many people out there feel the need to share their thoughts. Maybe we all need to feel like someone is listening… someone else out there understands us… there is someone else out there in the world… We’re not alone – We’re a part of something – We feel more justified with our experiences, our feelings and our lives.

It would be denial to say that there is no part of me that is writing in agreement with the aforementioned reasons. However, I would like to think that my writing is to share what God is teaching me and humbling me in.

I am one of those people you call an “intellectual”… I think WAY TOO MUCH. I think about everything… and once I have thought about something thoroughly, I usually think about it fully again, just to make sure I haven’t missed anything. I have to think before I do something (not much spontaneity here)… I have to think about what I am doing while I am doing it… and guess what, after I’ve done something I tend to think too much about whether or not it was a good idea to do whatever it is that I did.

So… writing things tend to make me have to center my thoughts… work things out somewhere other than my head – where they tend to get muddled. I look forward to knowing that what thoughts I gather about life, God and how they intermingle may help someone else come to their own conclusion. I am also looking forward to the fact that as soon I press “post” on something I have written opens me up to accountability, encouragement and correction. Share with me your thoughts as I share mine.
