Thoughts left to be completed. Ideas furrowed across the brow. Words that don’t fit together scattered across the page amidst coffee stains, ink blots, and psychotherapeutic doodles.
In the midst of this chaos, I decided to stop.
What is the purpose of this blog?
Part of the reason I know is the metaphorical dancing in the rain, the choice to take a moment and experience it like a child full of wonder, questions, curiosity and play and to try to encourage other people to do so as well. The to do lists, lists of ten, poetry, and to some degree the stories have this aim.
The second purpose I have a tendency to make a little more complicated so I can pretend I am saying something smart. It’s really not that complicated and, in a way, it is very similar to the first reason.
The second is to share my experience of falling in love with God. For the most part that is the purpose of the rambles, devotional notes, and sometimes it fits into the other categories.
Slowly, I am learning that significance in life is not about me doing something great for God but about God doing something great within me. God doesn’t need me as he is God, but he does want me with a passion currently I cannot comprehend. And so as I continue in the writing of this blog part of the aim is to write from the depth of the wonder of this love while trying to look at each life moment with childlike joy.
I hope in the preceding weeks to flush out these ideas a little more and define how they have and will impact my life.
