Intro

Some of you might be wondering why I’m blogging now. I’ve always wanted to, but either didn’t think anybody was wanted to read about my life, didn’t want to have and look back and read my past writing, or whatever.

I was also afraid that my non-Christian friends would see me talk about God (or not talk about God, which is even more disheartening). But I no longer fear these things.

Yeah I never really had the confidence that anyone would want to read my blog, and that it’d be a waste of their time. But after stalking the blogs of people like James Szeto, Steve Tu, Jonathan Pan, Ben Du, and being thoroughly encouraged by their honesty and their sharing what they’ve learned and how God has been working in their lives, I thought maybe I could share my thoughts with the world too.

I’ve also always been disappointed when I went back to read things I said or wrote in the past. Especially if the time gap was several years. I always look at it and think “wow I was so stupid” or “what a kid, complaining about this?”. Not to say that I’ll be exempt from this this time around, but it’s alright.

As to having a testimony before my friends, I was afraid I’d always have some sort of half-blog where I talked about things just like everyone else, what I did, and what happened and whine, whine, joy, joy. But I also knew about people who blogged about things they cared about. They brought out topics that they were thinking through and what that meant in their life and their walk with God. I didn’t want to have a useless blog, but I also was afraid to go all out and write my mind. But now I know that it’s just a fear of man, and if there’s gonna be discussion, then let’s talk.

I guess I’ll start the real blogging another day
