I never planned to pick up blogging again. I feel like when I’ve done it before, I’ve had plenty to say for a while and then I just run out of content and get bored with it. I really wasn’t cut out to be a blogger. But this whole thing came out of some summer cleaning a month or so ago as I was getting ready to move in a new roommate. I found some old journals and started reading through them and comparing them to my journals from the past few months. It didn’t really help the cleaning process, haha, but I started putting together the pieces of all the Lord has been teaching me the past few years and it was pretty overwhelming.
So a lot of what I’ve written in my prayer journals (I have lots of different journals, trust me. That will probably be its own blog at some point.) since then has been me processing with the Lord all the things he was doing that I couldn’t see at the time. It’s incredible how clear it is looking back.
In fact, most all of the entries I’ve posted so far have been easy to write because I poached them from old journal entries that I just changed to third person and pulled all of the profanity and nonsense out of, haha.
Today I read a really great article on this, which consequently inspired this post.
The days are often hectic and rushed, but when we make time to write, we can look back and see the ways God’s molded and guided us over the long haul.
This has been true for me. As I’ve spent time writing my story down, I’ve been able to see my life anew in light of the gospel, especially as I’ve processed the difficult parts.
I’ve only shared this blog with a few people so far. I may start sharing it more openly soon, but either way, I’m going to keep writing my story, in my journals and on here. If you do happen to be reading this, I hope it encourages you to do the same.
Let Go, My Soul
