Unread

Recently I was going through the stats from this blog that I started back in 2009.  I like to review the posts to make sure that I haven’t written about the same topic too often.  When I was looking through those stats I found something that was rather humbling.  There have been multiple posts that I’ve written that haven’t been read…by anyone.  Does that mean that the topic on which they were written wasn’t worthy of people’s attention?  Does it mean that I should have given up a long time ago?

As I began to reflect on this fact I came upon a realization:  That it’s very possible that those posts will never be read by anyone…ever.  When I came to grips with that fact I made a decision:  that I’m ok with that fact.  You see I write this blog every week for a couple reasons.  I hope to help others that want/need a stronger relationship with Jesus.  I also hope to use these writings to help me to develop my own relationship with Jesus.  Lastly, I write the blog because I enjoy writing and I enjoy this outlet – even when it is burdensome as it’s just another thing I have to get done in a week.

So, I will continue to write this blog for the near future.  I’ll write it if it is read by others or not.  I’ve felt since I began this blog that God had a purpose for me doing this blog, and who am I to question what He has in store for me?  So, in this new year I’ll continue to write on a variety of things that God brings to my attention in my walk with Him.  Whether you read it or not (and I hope you do) isn’t going to be my concern.  Instead I’ll continue to wrestle with what He has put before me, and if you want to come along for the ride you are more than welcome.

Happy New Year!
