Put my blog on FB.

I've always struggled with writing material for people who read vs writing material for myself.

The purpose of this blog (back in 2009) was for me to improve my writing for college.

It didn't work.

Now, the purpose of this blog is for me to collect my thoughts and reflect on them. Those times after an event and you want to delve deeper about it?

Well, after times like that, I do stop and think a lot, but I blog because I'll forget the things I've learned. I'll forget the journey I've been on.

Of course, there are externalities of public blog, both positive and negative. The positive being that people can discover who I am, because many times it's tough to reach past the shallow parts of the relationship with people. However, the negative being that my blog becomes people pleasing rather than an actual personal, reflective blog.

So Father, I pray for you to keep me humble. I thank you for this passion of blogging that you've given me, and I pray that you would keep me humble, for these abilities are from you and no other.
