My Theme & Purpose for this Blog

.......well .......

Honestly, I haven't fully figured it out yet. See, I'm the kind of person who is typically super organized and has to have everything perfectly planned out before I do it. Some of my friends say I need a little more "spontaneity" in my pocket to spice things up. Unfortunately, I end up thinking about how I can be spontaneous, and once I plan out an idea, I kill the very definition of being spontaneous. Case in point.

So this is what I've decided to do. I've come up with a couple ideas that I'm going to start out with, and we'll see where it goes from there, shall we?

(1.) I'm an avid reader. Especially when it comes to Christian literature and biblically-themed books. So naturally, I'd like write posts about what the Lord is teaching me through whatever book I'm in. I'm not talking about a "formal-New-York-Times-caliber-I-like-to-use-big-words-to-sound-smart" book review. Actually, I'm not talking about a book review at all. Just straight gut. What is God teaching me through this book? How does it apply to my life? What's on my mind?  My heart?

(2.) I'd like to write about what the Lord is showing me in his Word. It may come in the form of a prayer, a (in)formal study, a devotion, posting scriptures that I'm meditating on, bangin' sermons, and such. My heart behind this is expressed by what the Psalmist says in Psalm 119:15-16, "I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word."

(3.) Since I'd like to consider myself to be somewhat creative and artistic, I also plan on posting any songs, videos, poems, artwork and photos that I just think are awesome. (Who knows, maybe I'll post some of my own pieces if I can build up enough courage!) :o)

(4.) <--- This number is just a placeholder for my so-called "spontaneity" should I one day possess any and decide to write or post something not listed above. ;o)

My ultimate prayer is that this blog might be edifying to its readers in some way or another... and even if no one reads it, may I find joy in simply reflecting on my beautiful Savior.
