My First Blog Post!!

Ah, my first blog post. I think I’m going to need a moment to contemplate this historical milestone ~ there. Moment past. We can all move on. 

Originally, I wanted to name my first blog, Little Red Head - Big World. However, after reading several articles about blog-naming, I decided to go with something that would reflect the nature of my posts. I fully intend for them to be deep, meaningful, and a poetical reflection of my very soul...but we’ll have to see. As evidenced so far, I’m not really the deep, poetical, or soul-baring type :)

Just to address the elephant in the room (well, maybe it’s not, but I’ve always wanted to say that), no, the name of my blog is not the words to my favorite song. I do like the song, but I chose this because I feel it describes where I am in my life.

When you’re little, you truly believe the world revolves around you (despite parents assuring you that it doesn’t). Eventually, reality either gradually sets in, or it hits you in the face like a ton of bricks. For me, thankfully, it was the former. I came to the realization that life isn’t all about me, that the people around me don’t exist to cater to my every wish or need, and that I exist only for my Creator: Jesus. 

James 4:14 asks, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”

This is the challenge I’m taking upon myself: Will my life be a meaningless vapor, filled with these and thats, or can I rise to the call God has placed on my life, no matter what it may be, and make a lasting impact on my culture for Him?
