And so it begins...

I decided to start blogging.
Why?
Hmmm...well, I used to write quite frequently. I dreamed of one day authoring a book and having it published. I was constantly thinking about different plot lines, toying with the stories slowly growing in my mind. Characters were just shadows, mere possibilities yet to be fleshed into existence. But the possibilities were enough to make my young heart giddy with excitement over the words I would pen.
Then, I started university after a year at Bible School, and I became busy with life. My dreams of being an author shifted to dreams of going overseas, which I believe was a lot of God's doing, and writing became a pastime rather than training for a future career.
As of now, writing is still something I enjoy but cannot see as a future career.
Now, back to the reason I decided to start blogging.
By no means do I believe my thoughts would be particularly interesting to the general public or are somehow worthy of the extra time spent to read them.
I think I am doing this more for myself.
I love to write, and I want an incentive to do it more frequently.
I'm sure stories from my life, including my hopes and dreams, will find their way into this place, but mostly, I just want a place to encourage the creativity that once thrilled my fingers into letting my imagination flow out onto paper.
If you choose to accompany me on this journey or just stop in once or twice along the way, you are welcome.
And so it begins.
