What to do? What to do...
I've been struggling with what to do with this blog. One of my desires has been that it be a place for those who know me to come and read about my adventures in life. I also have desired that it be a place to share lessons and thoughts that God has given me.
Lately I have been uninspired in those areas and every time I go to sit down to write a blog, either nothing comes or I start to complain. Complaining does no one any good and since I really try to live my life by the adage "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all," this blog has been silent.
Words have power; power to do good, power to do evil. With words I can build up my friends, or tear them down. With word I can show the innermost struggles of my life, or I can just show the surface "fine." I can speak light into a dark place, or I can join into the complaints and misery. These words, these expressions, need to be realized as important and possibly life changing.
Thus I come to my dilemma - what to do with this blog? I want my posts to show God's love for the readers. I want my words to uplift and to challenge. I want to write encouragement. This blog has to become an outlet for the Holy Spirit. Something that He inspires, not me.
Stay tuned as I figure out what all that means!!!

Well, is there anything that you DO feel like writing about? Anything? (besides the stuff complaining stuff you mentioned) Maybe start there, even if it doesn't seem super Holy. Certain interests, hobbies, talents, etc. You'll never know where it goes, and sometimes the things we just like and want to do, are the things we should do.
I'm afraid I don't have any such lofty goals for my blog, but I admire you for having them.
Alisha, you have a good point. I have some ideas along those lines.
