WHY I WRITE WHAT I DO

I have begun to try and see myself from other people's perspective (self-reflection I guess you could say), especially when it comes to my blog. I'm sure some of you read my words and wonder if I really am true to what I say; if my faith is really as great as it seems. And let me tell you, it's not. I still struggle with talking about my faith, about God, and about Jesus. It's something I want to be able to do with confidence and with grace. But it's hard you know? I always feel like faith and spiritual things are so personal, almost secretive in a way, that I don't want to share these things face to face. I suppose that is why I write what I do here on my blog. This little space I have, it's where the things that are hard to say can be written; it's where the truth can be seen by anyone who cares enough to search for it; it's where I can - where I am meant - to share Jesus with the world. My faith isn't as strong as it could be. I should trust God more. I should speak to Him more; ask His input on things. I should be reading His Word more. I could be more open, more vulnerable with others when it comes to sharing my faith with them. I guess this blog is where I can get the hard and confusing stuff out. Cause I'm not there yet, speaking about deep and special things face to face. So until that time comes (and long after), this is where you will find my thoughts and see why I write the things that I do.
