It’s easy to write. I LOVE to write. My original plan had never been to start a website or blog. I had wanted to be a catechist and was interested in apologetics, only to be convinced of the opposite Protestant side. I started making my own notes about various topics. The truth should never fear being examined and should be able to stand. Jesus said to test whether things are so and to always be ready with an answer, so I dove right in and found the real truth which when examined any which way stands stronger than anything else I’ve ever encountered or seen. And I’ve looked into the opposite side and can also see why many people do not believe and it’s honestly one of the most disheartening and heartbreaking things. Especially when I consider how far up at the top corruption reaches and only goes to show how Satan really is the ruler of this world and the father of lies. He’s deceived most of the world and they remain clueless.
So what motivates me? God says to not grow weary in doing good. A big motivator is people. I was a psychology major in college. I’ve met all sorts of people. What motivates them, what they think, all our quirks and different personality traits… Everybody has an interesting story. Do they believe in God? Why or why not? What makes them so sure either way? How do they know what is actually true? Do they ever question or doubt anything? Have they ever researched things for themselves (including in alternative sources) rather than believe it just because it’s the “expert” or “popular” opinion? This last one is hard to find, but I digress. And then the reverse of that. Alone, you might not question something that someone with an outside perspective notices. It’s like how you get acclimated to the weather or a smell that only hits you after being away from it. People ask so many good questions and it’s awesome. I don’t feel threatened. I’m like that’s a great question, I don’t know. Research time! Besides all that, God really gave me a heart for the lost because I was once lost. Whether my blog actually helps anyone, I don’t know. At the very least I can say that it helps me when I go back and re-read my own things. Keeping myself on track, simply contemplating or appreciating God and his handiwork, or tracking my progress if I’ve grown at all since then. At most, I hope that it plants some seeds in non-believers and edifies believers. I myself can always be corrected if I make a mistake anywhere. Nobody’s perfect but God. I’m a bit of a perfectionist but I can’t wait to be “perfect” because nobody is. I don’t know everything, but why wait any longer to share what I do know? I’ve already learned and experienced enough that I can’t justify keeping it all to myself. God wants me to share, so I’ll try and step out of my comfort zone and respond to His call. Feel free to ask me about stuff that I post or other things and I’ll try to answer as best as I can. Some questions we might not know the answers to till we die, but if I don’t know and it’s answerable, then we’ll find out together. Thanks for reading. Comments are closed.
