A Whim

Why am I starting a blog? To be honest, I don't have much of an answer. It's definitely not because I am eloquent, nor is it because I feel I really have something to say. I was just in the shower thinking (which is where I do most of my thinking and praying) and just thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I just can't think of anymore witty one-liners with which to update my facebook status. Maybe I just like talking, even if it's just to myself. Maybe I'm just kind of lonely at home sometimes and this helps me feel more connected to the world. It very well could be because I just ate a brownie on an empty stomach and am now a bit jazzed up by the caffeine and sugar. I guess all of these things contribute.

The deeper side of me is longing for something new, though. It's probably partially influenced by the upcoming New Year, but still, it's something that's been churning in my mind and heart for some time now. You know the kind of churning deep in your gut that won't let you forget about it for very long? It keeps me from being at rest and from feeling satisfied. The truth is that I know I was made for something more than I am right now. Maybe this blog is just a way for me to figure it out. Anyway, I make no promises that my posts will be exceptional in any way. I also don't have any goals about how often I'll post - I suppose I'll just post when I feel like it. So that's it for now. I'll have more to say about why I chose "Something New" for my blog's name, later.
