My blog may seem random to you. And if that’s what you think it is…you’re probably right. In talking with successful bloggers, I’m often told that I should choose one or two things to blog about, and blog at least a couple of times a week about each of those topics.
But that’s not me.
And my blog is a snapshot of my life.
And I am dealing with much more than one or two things per week.
It’s about my life, how I process things, and what I’m dealing with. It’s leadership, small groups, and parenting. It’s theology and counseling. It’s a devotional thought and a book review. It’s sometimes about adoption or a post from a friend. In short, it’s my life. I’m trying to process all of life through the grid of Scripture, thinking through things theologically. Sometimes I hit the mark…sometimes I miss it badly. Hopefully you’ll see growth in my own life through my blog, but if you see me miss it, please give me some grace. I’ve still got lots of growing and learning to do.
I guess I’ve been thinking about this because I want my blog to be effective for my readers. If my blog ceases to be relevant and helpful for my readers, I need to rethink and restructure things. If it ceases to be effective for me, I need to stop blogging. I hope that it always will be a helpful source of information for readers, but one thing that I’m certain of right now is that it’s effective for me. It really helps me to flesh out my thoughts and communicate them in a way that others can understand. Writing forces me to shape my thoughts into some form of definable action on my part. If I put them on “paper,” I’m more likely to act on them and live them out.
Thanks for all of you who put up with my rambling, often random blog.
