Ok, so maybe right now I like this blogging thing, who knows how long it will last...;)

Ok, well, it didn't take me long to gravitate back to the blog page, maybe around 10 hours to be exact.:)But my first entry was more or less getting an entry out there, cause knowing myself, I will talk, and think TOO MUCH about the pros and the cons, analyze, question myself, mention it to others, get their opinion on the matter and by the time I finally decide it's been 12 years(exaggeration) and no one even blogs anymore??..=), so though I didn't have much to say at all, I bit the bullet(so many phrases I've heard in conversations, but don't know if I am using them correctly, but I'm okay with that:) ), tried to figure out a layout and photos I liked and typed out a bunch of nonsensical things then, practically closed my eyes and pressed the "publish" key(I had to check to see where the the publish key was before I closed my eyes, otherwise I might be pushing,"delete", or... something......k, I didn't really close my eyes, trying to just provide imagery..:))and BOOM again, my ramblings were published for all to see.=)(Yay for all of you who read this though! I think there may be maybe 3 of you:), again, I'm fine with that:))But the main concept I want anyone to come away with from my first post is that I do NOT take myself TOO seriously.I have convictions and ways I see things, but I know that, as each human is a unique creation, we all view and feel different ways about things.And I don't totally believe any one human is completely correct in any one opinion they personally believe(except foundational Christian truths like the Apostle's Creed or something), because we are ALL flawed humans. Now don't get wigged out and think I'm being radical, that's not me:).I believe God reveals and speaks through humans, but any and everything one PERSON says is not 100% correct every time, unless they are Jesus Himself. What the Bible says is 100% correct EVERY time, but even that can be interpreted in so many different ways by so many different people.So, all this to say that I know that MY opinion and outlook on things are only that, MINE, the way through God's guidance He has revealed things to ME. So I know the concepts I have are not the final WORD, they are just MY personal view point on things, and every person goes through their own personal experiences, so we can, as a body of Christ, all see and empathize with different experiences people have been through cause we ourselves have been there and experienced it and God has revealed Himself individually and personally to us,so that we can use to help others.This thought has been a foundation for me through out my life and anything I've been through.
My first foundational concept that I cling to and trust with all my heart is my life verse,which I claimed as my own(You can use it too, if you want,.. I guess..;))when I was at BIYOCA camp in junior high, Romans 8:28-"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose" and then when I've faced and struggled through those "things' God is working for the good of me", I then rely on the verse from II Corinthians 1:3,4-"Praise be to God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in ALL our troubles so we ourselves can comfort OTHERS with the comfort WE OURSELVES have RECEIVED FROM CHRIST." So personally this is how God has revealed some of HIS truths to me.All this being said, since we all are different individuals with our own personal relationship and interactions with Christ, what are some of the individual lesson God has revealed to you so far in your life?:)
Well, once again, thanks for patiently bumbling along with me through my typing run ons:). Thanks, God bless!:)

(I'm going to close my eyes and push "publish" again now, ...ha, just kidding,...kinda....:) )

My first "web" "log":)

So, I finally caved in and decided to give this "blogging" thing a try.To begin with, I don't even know what "blogging" is, and I was going to start making fun of it, poking fun at a dumb sounding made up word that someone came up with until I took the time and "Googled" "blogging"(how pointless and silly do those words look next to each other;)?)and found out that "blog" is a mixture between "web" and "log",and the term was first coined in 1997 by some guy as a joke.(at least that is what Wikipedia told me, but people can make stuff up on there, right?) But I suppose it is not a joke anymore cause obviously EVERYONE uses this term. In fact, I'd say by now 83% of the world's population most likely are doing their own"blog".(I do not think this is true at all,I, myself, am too just making things up.)So, the entire section I just devoted to trying to come up with witty, intellectual, savvy, technologically correct insults on an imaginary word called "blog" was all just completely deleted, so you will never get to read my "blogging" burns in my first "blog", bummer.....But,  back to what I had first begun blogging about, I thought to myself,"Sarah, why don't you do something worthwhile when you having trouble sleeping? Why not write sometime pointless, useless opinions and ideas out in a journal form to record your random, unique way of thinking, and why don't you do it on something that you can then publish so anyone with computer can access your ramblings from around the world? Why Sarah? Why not?!?" So BOOM, here I am...so perhaps instead of wasting time when I have trouble getting to sleep by watching Jimmy Fallon introduce a grown man dressed as a Gummy Bear singing in opera the "Gummy Bear" theme song, or being creeped out from watching "Untold Stories of the E.R." or people brutally injured, barely living through horrific situations in "I Shouldn't Be Alive"now I can uselessly and pointlessly ramble on and on about different topics WHILE I watch Jimmy Fallon, "Untold Stories" and "I Shouldn't be Alive", perfect! Now if I could only figure out some way of silencing the tip taping of my keyboard so I don't wake my husband??:)(Just kidding, kinda)......But in all seriousness, the name of my blog is called "Simplicity" and I have found this quality to be a foundation and key when attempting to "navigate through life"(that's from the "IF" Life commercial with Snoopy in it, I didn't think that one up on my own. You will for sure know when I think I've thought something monumental up on my own, I will tell you,:)only to find out it's been thought up already:)) and I will discuss this later when I blog next.(Now all that needs to happen is for me to decide that I want to keep blogging after I've published this post, so..it is a possibility that this may be my first and last post, oh well..:) ) Well, I truly believe that you must feel a sense of enlightenment and gratefulness as you come to the end of this thoughtful, intellectually deep piece of writing that I have obviously put so much effort into, and I know you wait with bated breath(another saying I had to Google,still don't know really what it means, I actually thought it was "baited breath")for what amazing piece of literary genius might come next..but I'm sorry,.... you will have to wait,,:).
Thanks for wasting time with me!;) God bless!=)
