I’ve wanted to start this blog for a long time.
I’ve had a blog before, but it was more one of those blogs where you throw out random snippets of your life and hope there’s someone out there that cares. In reality, I’m pretty sure only family members ever read it.
This blog is different. This isn’t a blog about myself, at least not directly.
This blog is about Him. This blog is about my faith. This blog is about a love story between an ordinary girl and the One who died for love of her.
The truth is, I’ve been really nervous to start this blog. I’ve wanted to for a very long time, but it was pretty daunting. I was haunted with fears and insecurities. What if no one read it? What if I sound stupid? What if people judge me? What if I’m not as good at writing as everyone has always said? What if people think I’m a total loser?
And then I realized that it’s not my right to decide not to do this blog. I’ve been blessed to have a passion and a talent for writing. That passion and that talent was given to me by God for a reason, and to not use that gift would be like saying, “Sorry, Big Guy, I know you really wanted to give this to me, but it’s not the gift that I wanted, so you can have it back.”
So despite how much it freaks me out, I’m doing this. And even though I’m really nervous, I’m also excited. I know that this blog is going to be a journey for me, and I hope it’ll be one for you too.
To Jesus through Mary,
Catie
