What's Happening?

So, I'm pretty sure I'll start that blogging challenge next month! =D I got so busy with studying for midterms and turning in papers and all that jazz before the end of the semester. Actually, scratch that, I just had the idea to use that list as a goal for this year. I don't think any one month will be empty enough for me to blog everyday. Besides, I might want to write about other things kind of spur of the moment - I change my mind often. I have a bunch of ideas (well actually they're just a giant train wreck in my mind but I'm sure once I organize them they will only amount to about 5 or 6) for some mini devos and posts. Anywho, I'm too tired to write anything mind blowing tonight, so I will see y'all later. ;)

Day 1: Your Blog's Name

Learning To Be the Light
 
It took a while to come up with a name for my blog that I really liked. At first I wanted it to have something to do with music, but since I usually post non-music-related stuff, I changed my mind. I didn't want to settle on a name I didn't love, so I had to start over with ideas. I wanted the name to have purpose, something to sort of describe my blog as a whole. Learning To Be the Light by Newworldson was one of my favorite songs at the time, so it just clicked. That's what I want to show through my blog; I want to be a light to people. Maybe I can make someone smile because of something I write. I know from personal experience that it's sometimes difficult to see that light at the end of the tunnel, but those situations teach us to look towards God. It's a reminder for myself that there's a purpose in everything, and we might as well make the best of things. Maybe it can serve as a reminder to someone else, too. =)
 
 
 
 
*Day 1! Ok so I almost forgot about this, and I know 10:00 is sorta pushing it, but hey, I got it done! Can you believe it's 2014?! I'm excited!
