Five Minute Friday-Messenger

A couple days ago, I was very excited to see that my boss read one of my blog posts, and so I in passing thanked her for reading. She was very complimentary, expressing how much she'd enjoyed the post. Then she asked me the following question:

"So, why does one blog anyway? Like, what's the point?"

I quickly responded, "I blog because I've been looking for my story online. No one else had it that I could find easily, and so I felt I needed to put it out there." I've struggled for awhile with the questions, "what's my calling/purpose","what's God's will for my life?". Not to say that blogging is His grand plan for me (also not to say that it isn't), but I do believe that when He's placed something in you, from birth or during your development, you should utilize and act upon it. I write.And now, I blog.

Now that I blog, I struggle with the worry that no one's listening. It's just occurred to me though- God's given me my story, and he's given me the ability to write and relate to others. So, whether I reach 10 or 10,000, I'm fulfilling my purpose (at the moment, anyway).
