Inadequate

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a bit now. There are a few things that have held me back.

First, what exactly was I going to use it for? In my life, things have to have a purpose. If there is no purpose then there is no use for them. Don't get me wrong I love pretty things, but I also like functional. I like dual/multi-purpose! Answer..use it for daily ramblings, photos, current projects, stories of my boys, etc. Just about anything.

Second, I wasn't sure I'd be able to keep up with it AND everything else. Only time will tell. My hope though is that it will help to simplfy some things by having it all in one place. Again...only time will tell.

Thirdly, where do I start? There is so much that I want to put on here from past days, weeks, years. I can't possibly catch up! So my goal is to start with today. One thing at a time. At times I might go back for a walk down memory lane.

Last, inadequacy. I love to read other people's blogs. I love their personal stories of laughter, rough days, their own mission to conquer something other than meals and changing diapers. Somedays it has been my only link to other human life above the age of five. With reading other's blogs though it has made me feel inadequate at times to have my own. I can't write like she does. I'm not as crafty as she is. She has much better insight. She has a stronger love for the Lord. Her pictures are beautiful. (I have a weakness for comparing.) I know that comparing myself to others is not what God wants me to do. He wants me to be satisfied with who he made me. He made me with loving hands; no mistakes.

So for now, I will blog. Or atleast attempt to. Not stressing over it being "perfect", but enjoying the opportunity to record moments of my life.
