Yes, I used to be an avid blogger, and Xanga.com still holds the evidence of that. The last time in my life, I had a lot of transitioning going on and hadn't fully embraced being an external processor. I prefer to process verbally, but have found a disadvantage being that I don't remember what I said very well. The past four months (to the day, haha) I've desperately needed to slow my thoughts down and gotten into the habit of journaling. However, journaling has the disadvantage of not being able to write as quickly as I may need. There seems to be no ideal way to get the stuff going on in my heart out of me. Perhaps the speed will be better here, even if the privacy may not...
So, I'm Journeying With Jesus indeed. Last year, my church adopted the slogan "h2o: Church for Your Journey" and I was more than mildly opposed because of how cheesy terms like "Next Step" and "Snapshot of your Journey" were. Well, with the craziness of my past year and how insanely reflective I have been the past couple weeks, I'm truly seeing how my relationship with God is indeed a journey, and have likewise embraced the concept.
My last year...oh man! Hmm...let's just say that I had a pretty well-laid out plan for what I would be preparing for next fall, and that isn't going to happen. I was absolutely certain I would now be preparing to move to Chicago. I'd expected to be finishing the job hunting process and securing an apartment to begin renting by late-August. Well, through an intricate process, I will actually be staying in Kent. I'm confident I will share at least the "abridged" version of that bit of the journey in the near future but not today, as a lot of work is calling my name.
I suppose we'll see how God uses Blogger in my life, and perhaps uses my life in your's. :-)
