One of my closest friends recently shared an experience with me. It was an exchange between her and someone very dear to her regarding blogging. This person considered blogging to be narcissistic and braggadocious, and sort of .... well... slammed her for keeping a blog at all.
My friend expressed that she's not an expert on much, but she is an expert on her life. It's what she knows and lives, and somehow, she hopes to bring joy to others by sharing it through blogging.
I say, she's right. We aren't experts on much, are we? However, we ARE experts on our own lives. I mean, who, other than God, knows our lives better than we do? And why shouldn't we share that with others? It's how we learn, how we reason things out, how we relate to each other, and for me, it's how I learn about who God is.... or isn't.
I WANT to hear what you're thinking, feeling, going through. I WANT to laugh with you, cry with you, and learn life lessons from you. So, please, if you're a blogger, keep it up! If you're not, consider doing it. If you've thought about it, and are hesitant, please know that I am waiting, with baited breath to hear what you have to say. Truly.
You are valuable, and your thoughts and feelings matter to me.
