I am having a hard time deciding what to blog about. I’ve been avoiding Social media for a while now. I don’t have a Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest, or whatever else may be available account. I’ll get on Facebook every once in a while. It just isn’t something I use often or get really excited about. My squad is challenging me on this. They post comments regularly, share daily events, pray, and set up Zoom chats (I had to ask, didn’t even know what Zoom was). As I struggle to adapt, I’m realizing that Facebook has become our community…at least for the time being. So, I’m trying to participate and be present.
Outside of/in addition to social media, we have our blogs; another point of contention for me. I read other people’s blogs and they are deep and have profound things to say and are really really long. I’m just not there…It’s not how I talk and it’s not how I think. I have what I call micro burst thoughts. I have a thought or idea and it may be great or kinda dumb, but if I don’t capture it right then and there…it’s gone. Even when they linger, they’re usually not cohesive. I live alone so I have plenty of quite time, but I do a lot of thinking while driving to/from work. I have an hour commute each way every day. It’s been challenging trying to remember the things I’d like to write about. Jotting it down isn’t the safest option. So my really good topic takes the next exit while keep driving…sadness.
I read a blog by Ann Voskamp the other day…Six Things Every Christian Blogger Needs To Know. She reminded my why I’m really doing this. It’s not to be perfect, or profound, or be like anyone else. Blogging for World Race is another way for me to worship. So, when I’m able to capture a microburst I’ll write about it, I’ll use this blog as a journal, and I’ll share my letters.
