Most of the blogs I have started in the past, had a definite purpose -- that is, I had a good picture of what I wanted to put in it. I'm not saying that this blog is completely directionless or uninspired, it's just... up to God. Whatever I may come across in God's word, whatever He may show me at any moment that sparks inspiration and contemplation, I will write about.
For too long I have been ignoring what, I believe, I was put on earth to do -- write. Why would anyone ignore a talent God himself has bestowed upon them? It's like a bird never flying, or Da Vinci never painting a single masterpiece. I am far from any Da Vinci, but I believe I should use what I have, and that is writing.
My mom is a teacher. (I get annoyed writing that sentence because I have heard her use "I'm a teacher" for too many excuses and reasons for why she can't do something.) Every week, she has to plan out what she wants to accomplish for the next week with her kids. She has to be thorough and thoughtful; she has to know how her kids will behave during the activities that she has them do; she must take into account the way they learn; and she must first and foremost have an idea of what is best for them.
God is a teacher too. He has a plan for each and every one of us. He knows how we will react, how we need to learn certain lessons, what we need and don't need, and He knows what is best for us. This blog, I feel, will be a way to map out His lesson plan for me -- a way to see what I am learning, how I am growing, and what lessons I've learned. It's like my mom's students trying to peek at her lesson plans, trying to find out her objectives. Luckily, in my case, I don't have to sneak around. My teacher is gracious and willing to tell me exactly what He wants me to know.
I hope this blog is not one that I forget about or leave unwritten. I think that through all the years of my blogging, I haven't had a subject quite as important as this.
What does God have in store this week? I can't wait to write in my lesson plan.
