I have a confession.
Blogging terrifies me. It overwhelms me too. The thought of me writing up my own personal thoughts and feelings and then putting them up for everyone to read is just so incredibly scary. Not that I’m uncomfortable putting words to my thoughts; I really don’t have a problem with that. I have a trunk of journals filled to the brim with prayers, memories, Bible Studies, life updates and many, many thoughts.
Here is the scariest difference with journaling and blogging; it’s not just me reading my inner most thoughts anymore. YOU ALL ARE. Obviously I’m going to be more selective with the content, but still, there is room to be misunderstood and I hate that. I truly hate not being understood.
You know what? This is one major lesson I have been learning in this season of being accepted for the World Race. Not all people are going to understand why I have chosen to uproot and go and serve for a year. I want to be OK with that. No, I need to be OK with that. I know this is what the Lord has placed on my heart for a long time and that I’m being obedient to those desires He has placed in me. Those passions and desires to go and serve that make me, Hannah Bethany Reynolds. I’ve always been one to want to justify myself, mostly not for prideful reasons but mainly to be genuinely understood and heard. Often times I say, “Am I making sense?” because I truly want to make sure someone is tracking with me.
Now I’m rambling.
Anyway, thank you all for sticking with me as I learn the ropes of blogging! Also for watching me learn how to walk in confidence in this new season He has called me to!
