A New Plan for My Blog

Tonight, God was revealing to me a very long list of things that I need to blog about. I'm not going to do it all right now, but I have a lot of things planned to say.

As I was writing down this list of topics so I wouldn't forget, a thought came to mind. "What do I want my blog to accomplish? What do I want it to say? Who do I want it to reach?" So I added that as a topic. I put it down as "my hope for my blog."

Basically, I want it to serve 2 simple purposes. To help me, and to help others.

It helps me because writing calms me down, and it puts things into perspective. I'm a thinker, and my thoughts often get all jumbled up. When I write things down, it clears my mind because I know that it's written down so I don't have to try so hard to remember it.

I'm hoping that it will somehow help others. I'm one of those people that has a lot to say, but I'm not very good at talking. My thoughts get jumbled and my words don't come out right, and when I talk I speak really fast so it's hard for people to understand me. I also don't really like the sound of my voice. The newest addition to my list of excuses for not saying things is my braces. Talking for long periods of time can be really uncomfortable for my mouth. Writing is my way to share things that I hope can help people. I've often considered writing a book at some point in my life. I hated writing as a child, but I love it now, as an adult ;)

I know that not a lot of my previous posts are going to be very helpful to people. They don't all have a lot of good advice in them. There actually is a reason for that. The original purpose for my blog was to be like a journal for me to vent. But now I think I want it to change course.

I considered just starting a new blog that would just be all advice, and keeping this one more personal. I also considered just deleting all the posts that weren't helpful. In the end, I've decided to just keep it as it is. I'm going to be writing a lot more helpful things, but I'm still going to write personal things as well. It's going to be a mixture of both.

I hope this helps to inform people of the new direction that my blog will go. I'm excited about it. I hope to be writing posts a lot more often in the near future.

Have a happy day, and be blessed <3
