Sep. 6, 2013: Keeping Myself Accountable

I think the title of this post is 1) self-explanatory and 2) unnecessary. I suppose I might be able to post it without a title (I've never tried). Or I can just use the date as the title. In this case, I've done both. Because why not?
Anyways, this post has that horrendously awful title because I really want to keep myself accountable here. I've started a blog before, and I think I just lacked the determination to keep it going. I don't want this one to die, at least not so quickly. It feels nice to be writing, even if it's just pointless thoughts on a blog that may not even be read by anyone. But getting read isn't my point (not until I've published a book or any other work, of course; in that case, all I want is for my works to be read and criticized so that I may become a better writer in the future). Right now, my point is simply to write until I feel I have nothing left to say on the subject. Which happened a bit ago, but I don't feel finished. Therefore...

SUBJECT CHANGE!!!

I'm just going to say now (because I have the right and ability to do so; I'm in America) that I'm a Christian. Think of me what you will, be it good or bad. I frankly don't care, because I know who I am, Whom I believe in, and I know other things too, like how to make toast or put butter on a waffle.
Anyways, I didn't just say that so I could talk about toast and waffles (although those do sound fantastic right now). I was just gonna talk about my day, and part of my day was going to a short Church service at my college (it's a Christian college, if you couldn't tell). It was one of the best worship services I've been to in a long time, the last one being a youth retreat a few years back. We were singing some song about all God has done for us, and how I'm surrendering my heart and soul to Him, and it got to this point where I was just thinking about the words really hard, and I just felt so close to Him at that moment; I love that kind of moment. Frankly, I wish it happened a lot more often, but lots of the time I get too caught up being busy in the world and doing all sorts of earthly things and I end up putting God to the side. This morning was one of those moments where I put Him at the top of my list, and I truly wish I was better at doing that.

I guess I can't put it into words very well because reading over that, it's kind of sloppy. I just wanted to get it all down before I forgot the right words. It didn't seem to end right, either, but I got my thoughts out, and that's apparently an important part of blogging. So...yeah. I always have trouble ending a post.

...Bye.
