BLOGROLL!!!!!! This is what I screamed out excitedly when Hal finally helped me figure this whole thing out. I was practically in tears this morning at work–everything read like Greek to me and I wasn’t too excited about it in the first place as I hate to be on the computer unless it is for work and my ahem, encouraging husband has been asking me repeatedly when I am going to blog–all of this combined made for a very stressful morning. I mean, who cares if I blog? Who really cares about all the little insignificant things that happen in my day and what I am feeling? This is like talking on the phone, magnified ten times!!! I figured, I’ll just get on here and read the blogs since that is what everyone wants me to do and then I will be done. I won’t have to do any self reflection or “be deep” or anything else. Riiighht. It’s funny how we have this defense mechanism that kicks in anytime we have to make ourselves vulnerable to people. It’s also funny how God can take my coat of self righteousness and sour attitude and transform it into an ashen sack of humility. The truth is, I care. The truth is there is no such thing as insignificant in God’s creation and the truth is, I care about what is going on in all of your lives’ too. Why is that so difficult for me to say? I don’t know. I guess God will continue to deal with me on that one.
I really couldn’t wait for you to post a blog. Although it would be outside of who God has made you to be for me to expect to see a new one everyday, I really have been blessed so much by you and Hal. This is especially true when I pull out of you guys how God is working in your lives. The “Today” thing, for example, was amazing for me! Thank you for being such good friends for Kristan and I!
Good to see you on here. I am looking forward to see how God is working in your life. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say:”Thanks for blogging, even though you hate it”.
PS- Christina and I want to get together real soon. Dinner and a movie maybe.
I’m glad you’re here, too! And I understand that you’re not a fan of blogging. I’m not either, but for a different reason. Whenever I’ve written things in the past, it’s more like rambling, and I’m always worried about what people will think of my blogs. I guess I shouldn’t worry about it so much. I will have to pray about this.
Hey woman. You know, I’m not even a part of ya’ll’s church… ho hum
… but I read everyone’s blogs anyway to see what they’re thinking and feeling and to know what’s going on to more accurately pray. I like hearing from you anyway. It’s especially helpful when we’re both not so hot at correspondence.
Hey there ! I was so glad to meet you the Sunday before last at church. I had read this blog before then but did not realize till today who had written it. I feel the same way and you articulated it better than I could have! I do want to start blogging becuase it has been a great way to get to know the others in the church. Plus, like my husband said I feel the blogpressure mounting! I just need to figure the whole thing out of how to start one up plus find the time to do it! I would do it now but I just realized it is midnight and the kids will be up early! I look forward to getting to know you better, in person and through blogging! Jennifer
