Hi, Page Turner here! It's been a long time since my last post. :) I guess I just haven't really had a lot to say. That's not to say that important stuff hasn't been happening, though! I just haven't really been able to think of anything to write and put down.
I've gone over a lot of my older posts, and I'm going to be honest. I've been writing this blog for almost two years and I've realized more and more how the posts have changed. (I've also noticed I don't use paragraphs enough:)
I used to think blogging was about expressing yourself and getting your thoughts and opinions out there in a fun way that looks really cool. But as a Christian, blogging should be so much more than that. It should still be fun :) and it can definitely look cool!
But my focus shouldn't be on how I can make myself heard because I want attention. I should be promoting my great King, Jesus! (Besides, who wants to read a blog that's completely obsessed about me? I'd much rather hear about Jesus!) Blog posts can still be silly, and weird, and random, and vibrantly colorful and energetic; they still be fresh and fun, but I don't want them to be about me any more. I want my blogs to be about Jesus! I want the root of all their exciting and fresh and uplifting stuff to be from God, because He's awesome, and exciting, and the coolest One ever!
I really want the blog posts to be about stuff that matters. I've got a lot of different posts on my blog, and I love every minute of writing. (Oh, and the time thing too! Time's been a factor, too:)
Anyway, I want you to know that God created writing and art, and everything else that's completely cool! I want what I write and create to point back to my Creator, because He's absolutely amazing and I want you to know more about Him! He saved me and loves me and I have hope because of Him.
I hope that I'll get to writing soon (who knows!) but until then I pray that you'll keep enjoying God and all of His blessings! He is worth it!
your friend,
