I Am Not Perfect


Sometimes, when I sit down to write this blog, I worry.

I think it's important to sound authoritative when I write my own personal opinions. Otherwise, I seem unsure of myself, which heavily undermines whatever message I'm sharing.

The thing is, I know I sometimes say things you don't agree with. I know my wording can sometimes be vague or unintentionally confusing. Some blog posts are better than others, and some are just garbage.

This isn't something I just struggle with when blogging, either. I constantly fail to live up to my own expectations and standards. I find my conviction to my personal beliefs threatened every day. I doubt my intelligence, my goodness, my worth. I know I'm selfish with my time and my service. Smiling to myself sometimes feels like a lie.

I say all this to point out that I don't think myself better than you, my readers and fans. If anything, you inspire me to do better, to reach inside and dig out the very best I have, even if I miss the mark and bring up garbage instead.

So, thank you. Thank you for being patient and forgiving when I don't provide what you're seeking. I want to be a better blogger, a better Christian, and above all, just an all-around better person.

I love you--yes, you--and I'll see you Thursday.
