Day twenty-one

Recently, I've been posting late in the day, typically because I've been forgetting about doing that day's post until the late evening. It's 5:20 pm as I write this, and if I'm laying flat on my back in bed (still dealing wih back problems), then I might as well be flat on my back typing on my iPod Touch.

Of course, more often than not I don't usually have a topic in mind when I sit down to write. When I started this blog, I didn't realize it would actually be so difficult to actually come up with just one thing to write about every day. As I've mentioned previously, my single goal was simply to update daily. Here we are three weeks in, and I'm amazed that I've kept this up this long. When I started on January 1st, I thought I would get about two weeks in, get bored with having to write daily, and quit.

There have been moments where I've thought about packing it in. Nobody makes me write this blog, only myself. It's certainly not financially lucrative. Admittedly, I've always been a little afraid that writing this blog would turn into a chore. So why do I write?

I write because I enjoy it. I write because I know that people read this blog. I write because it's allowed me to say things about myself that I would not have said otherwise. I write because I am not verbally articulate and I've come to realize that I can beast express myself when I write rather than when I speak.

I've have experiences in my life in which I believe God has a purpose. Many of them were bad, others seemed bad at the time. Even I can't always see or know what God intends for me, I can trust that He will always act for His glory and my good. I pray that I would always be more mindful of that fact.
