Ahhh.... The wonderful world of blogging.... Oddly familiar yet brand new... I used to do this ALL the time back when it was called a "Journal" on Live Journal. This was back in the early 2000's I'd say. And it was fun and in some ways therapeutic to just get on here and riff for 15-20 minutes, just empty my brain onto the screen and see what came of it.. Most times it was nonsensical gibberish that was meant to make you laugh or in some cases make you think I'm odd. But once in awhile I'd touch on something that had left an impression on me and it became a decent read.
The difference? Back then I first started doing this I was a 22-23 year old baby. I was single as far as I wasn't married, no kids, no real responsibilities, and in all honesty, a pretty easy life. Then I stopped doing this and we fast forward 10 years..... I'm married, have a six year old son, twin 18 month old boys, just bought a house, am in the midst of some issues at work, and stress is EVERYWHERE... One BIG difference... God... Back then, I didn't have Him in my life.. I didn't need Him in my life.. I was carefree and did as I pleased and didn't have time or room for a relationship with Jesus. I called upon Him when it was convenient for me or when I was in trouble. Fast forward 10 years, I'm a Lay Pastor at my church, I'm looking to go into Ministry, Juvenile and Prison Ministry in particular.... How things and people change. Most of my friends from then are gone. Left are the few 6-8 who have had my back no matter what and supported me in good times and bad. Maybe that's God's way of weeding those out of my life who weren't good for me.. I don't know..
Don't expect professional punctuation here.. I could sit here and pour over that and make sure everything is to the letter perfect.. But I won't.. I'm not perfect, so this will be a reflection of that. There will be mistakes in punctuation, there will be the occasional misspell of a word, or questionable grammar. I will keep it as clean as I can, I am big on making sure things are spelled correctly. But as far as editing this into something pretty or correct... I don't have the time, nor the patience to do so. So it will be laid down here as it comes out of my head and through my fingers... Don't judge me, nobody is perfect.
By doing this I'm doing something I don't do often and that's let people inside my head a little. I'm usually a pretty guarded person. And if you meet me for the first few times I probably won't say much. But if I trust you and you get to know me I usually end up being told that I'm not the person they thought I was when they met me. I'm a kid, I'm 33 but I don't feel like it... My mind and body tell me I'm still 17.... Usually, the next day my body reminds me that I'm 33.. But what's the point in listening? You're only as old as you feel......
So this is a small look at me. There will be more... I hope you find it in yourself to follow me.. I will try to not disappoint.. If I come up with something you want to share with others please feel free... Just give credit where credit is due and don't plagiarize my writings, sayings, or whatever I put out here.. Be original... Be You...
Til next time...
