Blogging...3, 2, 1, GO!

So this starts my first blog post ever! I registered for this blog a couple months ago, thinking I would get motivated to actually start using it if I was signed up for one, but that didn't happen.

I typically have a very hard time putting my thoughts onto paper (or onto the keyboard in this instance). I've never had a consistent journal for that very reason. It just seems so much easier to think about things and not have to write them down.


But as I get older, (yes, 24 is old) I tend to forget more and more if I don't write it down. I've decided I want to be able to look back at where I once was and be able to see how I've grown. I don't generally grow if I don't put effort into it. I want to put effort into writing my thoughts, fears, actions, blessings given and received, etc. so I can continually grow in them, and ultimately learn from them.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9

As of right now my blog title is "Sarcastic by Nature". I think this fits me like a glove...for now. Specifically over the last couple of years the Lord has been changing me, growing me, and loving me in ways I never would have imagined. Sarcasm used to be one of my biggest traits, it was second first nature to me. I've been able to see myself change from being sarcastic-all-of-the-time to most-of-the-time, and now I feel like I'm starting to get into the some-of-the-time realm of sarcasm. This is has been huge with regards to my walk with the Lord.

With that said, I think this has been a successful first post. I've already got ideas about what I'm going to write about for my 2nd and 3rd post...but I think it would be best to wait until tomorrow to post again.
