Blog 47: Why now?

Different people have asked me why I started blogging and what made me to start blogging. To begin with it was just a thing that I wanted to do to be able to get all my emotions out on paper and to see where that lead me. I would never have thought that it would lead me to this. I wanted to write down my experiences and memory to remember them and to look back on them over the year-I suppose an online diary really.

In over a year that I have been writing these blogs, I started with two a month and didn’t ever think that it would lead to one every week-I didn’t know that I had so much to write about! Over the years I have tried to write diaries but they have never come to anything and so I thought that through blogs I could write them when I felt like it and then publish them when I am happy with them. Looking back I have done so many wonderful things and have been on so many adventures.

I have written about my feelings and why I have felt certain ways, the holidays I have been on, how my life has changed from being single to now being engaged and planning a wedding, how I have had different things come up in my life that I wasn’t expecting. All of these blogs I have loved to write and I have loved to write down my experiences of a young adult living the life.

As I get older I want to continue to write these blogs and to take you through my life of being engaged to getting married and then hopefully to start a family. I know that I don’t know what the future holds and maybe one day I will have to stop but what I will do is why I have all the resources I will keep on writing. Through all of the blogs there has been on major theme and that is about how God has helped me to keep on going and to trust in him more and more.

As I look back not only on the last 18 months but the last 24 years I can see that God has protected, cared, loved and been there for me. He has been there when no one else has, he has been helping me with different emotions and situations that come up. I would not have been able to write these blogs if it wasn’t for God planning all the experiences that I have had in my life. I don’t know what the future holds but what I do know is that God won’t leave me and he has a plan for my future even if I don’t know what it is.
