Transparent.

Well, I finally think that I might have worn out my welcome. People are tired of my blog posts. They aren't reading them anymore. The last post that I posted had a grand total of 10 readers. That's right 10. Wow! That is the lowest total since I started this several years ago. Not going to lie. I was (am) a little bummed. Then I read this. Galatians 1:10 New Living Translation (NLT)10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. I started thinking. Am I writing this blog to please people and draw attention to myself? Or am I writing about what God puts on my heart to share with other people. I would like to always think the latter, but who am I fooling. I know that I have written stuff to be self serving. To say "hey, look at me and what cool stuff I am doing." I have t-shirts that have sayings on them as well, that I find that I'll wear in certain situations when I know people will be around. Just for them to look at my shirt and say "wow, how cool dude." It' a battle of the flesh. Luke 9:23 New Living Translation (NLT)23 Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. This is what my intentions are for this blog. To give up my own words and what I want to say, and write what The Lord is telling me. I want it to be up lifting and encouraging. Not prideful and selfish. I need to die to myself daily. Pick up my cross and follow Christ! So if I have 1 visitor or 100 visitors to my blog, I am doing it all for the Glory of Jesus!
