One of my favorite authors, John Eldredge, updated his blog with a post titled “Blog Shame.” He compares not blogging for a while to not calling your parents for a while…. the longer you go without it, the harder it is to do it. I can associate with that.
I don’t blog here often, as most of my blogging efforts are focused on AgapeModels.com, a modeling-ministry website. And I’ve found that for just the day-to-day stuff, I like using Facebook. Still- Facebook got a bit old. How many times can you say “I’m at work” or “Hey, there’s a squirrel?” 
Then one day I decided to simply praise the Lord for a Facebook entry. I don’t recall what it was…. just something short like “Thanks for the beautiful sunset, Lord!”
And that got me hooked.
Now, instead of posting what type of cereal I had for breakfast or the color of the car that passed me in traffic, I turn whatever I post into a praise. A short little conversation with God.
Not because God needs a Facebook post…. I just figure I should use whatever means I can to praise Him- and share that praise with others.
So all this rambling is getting to this…. if I could be so bold, John…. maybe don’t think of blogging as something you do for readers, a chore to be accomplished. Just talk to the Lord. Like in “Walking with God“. Only every day, as it comes to you. Sometimes seeing how others talk to the Lord- and hear from Him- can be a transformational witness. I can testify to that- “WwG” really made an impact on me, and my daily walk.
Might as well practice what I preach!
Lord, thanks for John and his ministry. His writing about You has really been a blessing in my walk with You, Father.
And thanks for that sunrise, Lord- wow! The way you had the pinks and oranges of the sun’s rays alongside the purples and grays of the clouds…. it was if the entire sky was singing out to You Lord! And to set the background music on the radio to “Open the Eyes of My Heart” moved me tears. That is what I needed this morning- it was like getting a hug. Thank You Father.
