Today is my first day as a blogger. In my eyes, it's pretty scary stuff. All of your thoughts and your feelings are out there for the world to hear. I've been wanting to create a blog for awhile. It's something I believe that could have the potential to really hit home with people. So, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to be writing about. Kind of like a blogging itinerary.
I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this for the teens out there that are lost. That are confused. That are drowning in stuff that seems like it's larger than life itself. BUT. I want to help. And you know what? God does too. NOW. If you were just reading this, and as soon as you saw the word God, you automatically wanted to click the back button, please don't. I'm not here to preach at you. I'm not hear to shove God's word down your throat. I'm here to spread the light. To spread the word of Jesus' love.
In my life, and especially in the past, I've wanted to be able to find a stranger who shared their personal experiences with God. Whether they be horrible, beautiful, touching or sad, I wanted to hear them. I wanted to hear about someone who was in the exact same place I was. So, I'm doing what I never had for all of you.
I'm going to write about love. I'm going to write about heartbreak. Fear. Anger. Parents. School. Relationships. Siblings. God. Not understanding things. Life. The good, the bad and the ugly. I'm going to write about it all. Why? Because I'm a teenager. And there's a bajillion other teenagers in the world too. But, I'm going to be doing it with a christian outlook.
Not every post of mine will be a long, HUGE message. They may just be song lyrics. A music video. A poem. A list of songs to listen to. A bible verse. Who knows. But you know what? That's kind of how life is. You never really know.
I hope you all will follow me on my journey through my teenage years with God. This is my jumping off point, the very beginning to my story. I want to help as many of you as I can. I want you to know you're not alone. I'm right here with you. And God is too.
I'm still learning. I don't have all the answers. But I hope that I can help some of you find the ones you've been looking for. I hope I can help you find God, or maybe just deepen your relationship with Him.
This isn't a blog that's necessarily all about me, my life or the things that go on in it. It's a blog that's about things that are larger than life itself.
Happy Readings.
Hey Becky - I'm looking forward to seeing what you write over the next little while. I know I'm not a teen, but I'll peek in from time to time. Can I let the teens know who are on the unashamed email list?
