Kicking and Screaming

I will never have a blog.

Those were the words I uttered to anyone and everyone who asked me about doing one. No blog, no way, no how, I said. You’ll have to take me, kicking and screaming. After all, there is just enough rebel in me to want to do things the opposite of all the ways someone says one should do them. And…getting downright honest with you, I don’t trust myself to write something on a day I have PMS. Girls, you know what I mean. :)

Well…as you can see, I now have a blog. And yes, I am still kicking and screaming about it, which prior to this blog entry was safely taking place in the sanctity of my own mind!

For me, as a purpose-driven woman, having a blog needs to serve a purpose other than simply keeping a personal diary of life events for all of blog-world to read. I have no need for that. Besides, I am and always have been a private person. I don’t share thoughts and feelings freely or frivolously. Oh, and while I am giving the run-down on why I shouldn’t have a blog, did I mention that I don’t have the time to do this?

But today, with a clear purpose, I start blogging. I plan to do it once a week in order to keep it in perspective…Mondays, likely. And I hereby operate with the desire to use an earthly tool to point those who read it to the One who deserves to be blogged about.

There is a song that says, “Jesus I desire to live…a life that shouts your fame.” That is what this blog is about for me. With every personal example…musing…or experience I share, may I shout His fame. He is the One who holds this girl’s journey in the palm of His hands. He has and always will know what’s going on behind my eyes…and yours.
