The Reason this Blog started.

Sidenote: You can do different fonts, this is kind of cool!

I've been thinking alot lately. Thinking about different things. And in thinking, I thought about how thinking is a good thing. Don't you think? One thing that I've started to do more frequently in the last couple of weeks is journal and really process my thoughts. A good friend of mine, Lizzy Brady, wrote recently in her blog, an entry titled "Enchilada," about processing thoughts and spending time with God and when I read it, I couldn't agree with it more. (She is a great writer, check her blog out and it will give you goosebumps.) Looking back on the past, I can recount too many times where I would listen to someone say something really good and just let it go right by me. I never really had taken the time to process what they were saying and think how to apply it to my life. In the last few days, I read Lizzy's blog, the New Mexico '09 blog, and Chris Jones's blog and I couldn't stop thinking about how cool they were. So essentially, they were the inspiration for me starting a blog. Hopefully this will help me learn more about myself, God, and my relationship with God, and I also hope that by posting it on the world wide web instead of just in the paper of my journal I will also be able to help others. Also, I have always found writing to be a little bit fun, but school kind of made me view it as a burden so I never really had done it before outside of school. When I was journaling two days ago about maybe starting a blog, I realized I was having a good time, so that kind of clinched it for me. So to everyone reading this (if there is anyone reading this), fasten your seatbelts and hang on to your seats, because this is gonna be a wild ride.

P.S. sorry if I lost anyone in that schpiel because I lost myself. Here's a sparknotes edition:
1. I've been thinking alot and processing my thoughts
2. I read a couple of other blogs that inspired me.
3. I like to write
4. Hopefully this will be beneficial for myself and others

Thank You for reading
