i estimate that to every 10 journal entries, i write 1 post (usually stemming from something in my journal). today i contemplated deleting this blog, after all, i do have a journal... i'm not quite sure if i've convinced myself out of it yet, but for now it remains.
anyway, while i was contemplating, i started reviewing the last year of my life. i knew exactly where i was a year ago, so it was pretty simple to begin. i thought about all that God had done and all that he had taught me... and what He is still doing and still teaching me... then i got an idea (lightbulb and all). i decided that i would write a letter to myself. now this could either be pointless or brilliant... i would write a letter reminding myself of all that God has done, warning myself of any mistakes i know i am prone to make, and noting exactly where i am and what is going on in life. then, once i have written the letter to myself, i will either hide it away for a year or give it to a friend to return to me in a year... or maybe both!...
my hope is this - in a year, i will open it and i will be able to look back on the year and see exactly how God moved to bring me exactly where i am. i hope that i will also be able to see growth in my life. now i know i could just do this all in my head. i could do it right now actually for this past year. but i think writing it will make it more impacting...
so on june 13th, a pretty notable day in my life, i will write my letter to future me... and on june 13th next year, i'll report (as long as I and this blog still exist)...
like i said pointless or brilliant... i'll let you know in a year.
