the blogging begins...

I have been warned it's addictive, I've been warned it's a time killer and I've also been warned that it ropes you into a new scarey level of netwroking... well,

1. I happen to be addicted to writing anyway 

2. Time inevitably dies around us all the time (whoops there goes another one) so I might as well kill a few with blog thoughts ;) 

3. When you live in a city thats thousands of kilometers away from your home town, have friends all over the world, and have grown tired of writing email upon email to different friends and family wanting to know about what you're up too? How the church plant is going? How you are? What do you look like? Married yet :P  Then 'scarey new level of networking' sounds perfecto! - there's nothing more inviting than technology that actaully serves your needs! 

So here it is my first blog entry...  exciting stuff!

Don't expect every blog to be profound please, the idea of the blog lies in reflecting honestly whats happening in my life and to encourage people through what God is doing in my life, in the church, as well as in the lives of people around me, cause it seems to happen everyday, little miracles, that deserve acknowledgment (funny also, we're only aware of little miracles when we stop to reflect - another good reason to blog!) It's not hard to notice how quickly life, my plans, and people around me change, so this is my attempt at keeping up to date and connected with my own life and the journey God's taking me on, as well as keeping intrested people 'posted' too :)  

I'm reminded of a quote I wrote down a year ago after reading a book called 'Norwegian Wood' by a Japanese writer Murakami (I don't recommend the book for the content, personal reasons for that, but that being said his writing is beautiful!) why I look forward to the blogging journey ...

"Which is why I'm writing this book. To think. To understand. It just so happens to be the way I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them." 

DITTO! So this will be my attempt at comprehending and reflecting, through text...

let the blogging begin.  

Papa and Mama you're going to have to get into the blogging thing too, Facebook and emails you've managed to master - now here's a new oppertunity to get even more web swavy ;)
