I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I do, however, believe in taking goals day by day. I have wanted to restart my never-before-published blog about a million times, but never have done it. My reasons usually fall into the following categories:
- I don't want to prioritize writing right now
- I don't want to write/blog anymore
- I don't feel like keeping up with any potential responses/comments
- I don't want to expose myself so much
- I want to focus any extra time on my family and/or my studies
- Whatever other excuse comes to mind that day....
And I don't think those are all excuses. They are legitimately thoughts and reasons I have had for not doing this. But I'm going to do it. I'm going to try. I keep feeling a call to write, and whether that ends up being a book or a blog or simply an online journal that no one else reads, I am going to follow through with it.
So, welcome! If you have somehow found your way to this page, I am honored you are still reading and hope you will come back and join me. For now, feel free to browse through the previous 9-10 posts that I wrote in anticipation of coming to seminary over 18 months ago. It's interesting to see how my thoughts and ideas have changed already (ex: I no longer only refer to God as "Him" - I now understand how much bigger God is than any one gender), but it's also great to know how excited I still am to be here in seminary more than a year and a half later.
May this time of writing and reading be a blessed time of reflection and conversation.
