I can’t even pretend like my life has been too busy, or that I haven’t had time, or that nothing interesting has been happening to me.
Truth be told, my life has been full of interesting stories to tell. It’s been quite the season of crazy adventures in lands far from home. The irony is that while I was doing a ton of exciting things that people would probably want to hear about, I said nothing. And now that I’m finally back home and, in comparison, have nothing exciting to speak of, I finally decide to speak up.
Let me make a promise to my friends who might find this blog…
I’m going to share more of my life on this blog.
And I’m going to start by telling some stories from my journey this past year.
See, I graduated from College in April 2010, and immediately joined a band that was touring North America. I’ve been all across the Eastern Provinces of our great country, and I’ve journeyed many hours in a van exploring the sights of our American neighbors to the South, and I’ve even ventured down as far as Guatemala with some friends for a month of ministry and life-changing experiences.
I’ve seen and done lots of things in this time. And I’ve been relatively silent about it all on here. I’ve been thinking today that perhaps that’s a selfish thing for me to keep all to myself.
It does take time and effort to share your stories with people… but it’s important, and it’s worth it. So I think I’m going to commit to posting a couple notes on here about my adventures since college, which also means… *deep breath* … I think I’m going to start telling people that I have a blog.
I’m so weird… I know. I’m ok with that too.
I know usually people create blogs for the very purpose of sharing things with people. They want readers, comments, feedback.
I feel I’ve had a different blogging experience than most.
This blog has mainly been a stash for me to write my own personal thoughts.
You know how a squirrel stores up food for the winter in some hollow space of a tree?
Well this blog was kind of like that for me. I’m the squirrel stashing my random (and sometimes nut-like) thoughts in this little space of the interweb.
But that’s all gonna change.
Instead of stashing ideas in a secret web space like some freaky blogging squirrel, I’m going to attempt to share this blog with people. People other than just myself.
Think of this blog as more of an open table with lots of empty chairs. This will be a place where I set down ideas (food for thought) in the hopes of sharing it with friends.
No longer the selfish squirrel. Now, I am the dinner host.
You’ve been welcomed here to share in all that I can offer.
That’s it.
My blog is resurrected. I reclaim it as a space for us to share.
Let’s see what I do with it, shall we?
Thanks for reading.
