I have neglected my desire to blog. This is not okay. I shouldn't talk myself out of doing interesting things, especially not blogging. This is something so simple, so cheap and so easily accessible that I really shouldn't shun away from writing. Even if there are no readers. So, I am beginning to re-fan the desire to write thoughts into the great abyss of online blogging. Where do I begin?!
I know for a fact that If I do not have something to blog about, I will not blog. There isn't all that much going on in my life, so I don't want to bore people with that. I'm sure no one wants to know weather my mother or I made dinner. haha So, I've been thinking today - What is something I am passionate about? What is something I could spend time on and not feel like I've wasted part of my day. Well, there are a few things. Music, although I'm sure no one wants to hear my rants on that. Acting, but there is absolutely nothing going on in that particular area of my life. Strengthening relationships with friends and family... probably not an interesting topic.
I did, however, find one topic that I think we all could use a little more focus on. Scripture.
So, I thought to myself - while I was supposed to be manning the check in table - is this something I could talk about?! I don't want to write "The bible according to Jackie!" ... believe me when I say, we do not all need to be screwed up like I am!
Something did eventually come to mind, it is with great vulnerability and courage that I am going to blog my way through the book of Acts. There is so much wisdom for us, the body of believers, in this book. So much wise instruction to the church as a whole. Which really translates to -- So much that I need to work on and so much that I need to understand about being a member of the body!
Everyday until I'm through the whole book (which, if I keep on track will be 28 days) I will be blogging about whichever chapter in Acts that I will have read. I may cut some chapters in half... those Godly men can be pretty long winded... and I don't just mean those who wrote the scripture. ;)
Let this be my "Pledge"... well, maybe I won't say pledge. That is a pretty concrete decision.... Um, let's say it this way. Let this be my full intention: To write my thoughts, Where I am being convicted, My plans to change and my understanding of the scriptures everyday until I have blogged my way through Acts.
For those of you who may or may not exist as readers,
WARNING: THIS CHICK USES HUMOR!!!!!
I think God has a sense of humor... if you know me, you have probably realized that God can be pretty funny.
With this, I bid thee farewell.
May the Spirit fill us all,
Jackie Poole
