Well, let's see...I am home. I assumed I would take up blogging just while being at YWAM, but come to find out I actually thoroughly enjoy blogging. It's crazy how much it helps me process my life. So here I am continuing to blog...maybe for just myself, but maybe, just maybe, someone else out there is reading this and this is striking their heart.
I read a blog the other day and for the first time in a long time I felt like there was someone out there who felt the way I did about life...besides the people who I met at YWAM that is. I mean, I felt like someone else out there really struggled with the same things as me and was refusing to accept what all they were told they should believe, and it was so refreshing...not only because I didn't feel alone, but also because it was someone who had never done anything like YWAM. I don't at all mean that to dis YWAM...going to YWAM is one of the best decisions I have ever made, but if I am not going to be a YWAMer involved in mission work my entire life and the Lord has called me back to the states, at least for this time, then I would like to know that there is going to be other people who see the world as I do...and I would like to know there is a man out there who wants to live a life the way I want to live. And that these people and this man didn't have to go to YWAM to be that way. It brings me hope to know that there are people out there who see life in the same light as me that didn't have to travel across the world and do a missions program to get there...for one, because I want to know that I won't be alone in my thinking. and for two, because I don't want to have to run to some intense life changing program anytime I want to grow.
Anyhow, besides the blog being inspiring and encouraging, it also pushed me to continue blogging. I was so captivated at the power in the words of this blogger--It took me back to my times blogging in Hawaii....oh, how I have missed it. It's crazy how much I love it. So here I am...blogging. I actually even deleted my facebook because I decided I would rather blog. Facebook just eats up my time and makes me look into everyone else's life with jealousy or lust or just inferiority. While blogging feeds my soul...seems like a better option---Life or death, I choose life :)
And so the journey begins again...
