The First

This by no means is the first online blog that I've ever had.

In fact, it's not even the second, or probably even the third.

Many times I have created a blog, thinking that it would be something I would consistently post and update as a way to constantly be journalling, putting my thoughts into words that I could look back on at a later time and remember what I was thinking at that time, even if it was in an online, public setting rather than a personal and private.  However, something has always gotten in the way...at times, the busyness of life.  But more likely (and honestly), laziness has always crept in, and I have just fallen away from keeping it updated...to the point that I forget the password, or even the blog name itself, so even if I wanted to do a new post, I literally could not.

So, of course, I'm doing the sensible thing and simply making a new blog, exactly like I've done in the past, and hoping for a different result here.  (side note...isn't insanity defined by Einstein as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?  hmm...)

I found inspiration to start a new blog, if nothing else just to have a consistent blog that I can keep for hopefully a long time here.  For one, I'm going to save the name and password so I don't literally lose the blog and have to start over again.

This blog will include a little of the personal "this is going on in my life" kind of stuff, but I'm hoping to verbalize what God is teaching me through scripture or prayer, or any concepts that I'm wrestling with and praying through.  Although I am a college student who has gotten pretty decent at composing cohesive, well-flowing papers, there are no guarantees that all posts will be polished with a good flow and easy-to-follow structure...I'm sure there will be many of these that are as all over the place as my thoughts can be.  Yet, that's often the point of writing them out...things are foggy and tend to swirl when kept in the mind, but when they are turned into spoken or written word, they take on form and meaning, and what you thought was just a bunch of random and confusing ideas turns into something pretty amazing.

So...here goes.  I'm not sure if anyone will actually read this thing.  But if you do...thanks.  And, comment!  I'd love feedback on any and everything that I'm thinking through with a post.
