At church we are doing 40 days of ordinary people to spend time in God's word and blog about it http://bluechairsandbleachers.blogspot.com/ During my time of blogging I felt a real accountability and connection with knownigly putting my relationship with Christ out for other people to read about. During that week God showed me more than I expected, but probably because I was more conscience because I knew I had to come up with something at the end of the day to tell my fellow blue-chair-and-bleacher-ees.
Now that I'm in high school it's hard to find the type of accountability the blog had to offer; if I didn't blog people would be able to check and see I had been slacking. After that week ended God had been pushing me to start up a blog of my own, I kind of shrugged it off holding it off as long as I could. Soon, other people mentioned the same thing to me starting one, I knew that if I went through with having one I would have someone to blame as to why I started my own. "Oh well X thought it would be good for me to connect life to others about God," "Y said I was a good writer and wanted to see more," "Z reminded me how much it was like journaling." Even though X, Y, and Z had valid points their opinions were merely rehearsed conversations I had in my head incase anyone was going to make fun of why I'm doing this. The only logical reason I am starting this blog is because I am completely and utterly in love with my Savior Jesus Christ and He told me to start this. My excuses are unnecessary, for as Theodor Geisel once said: "those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
So thank you to whomever you are reading this, your accountability is greatly appreciated.
