I'm Not a Blogger but I'm Going to Try

I must confess, I am not a blogger. Do I enjoy writing? Yes. Do I like publishing my thoughts for others to read? Not so much. I blame it on the perfectionist within me. I have felt that if I blog then people will not read for content and for what I'm trying to convey from my heart but instead read for the grammar mistakes and whether what I am writing is "deep." Well, I quickly realized I must get over that insecurity as I head on this return journey to Cape Town, South Africa.

In the weeks and months to follow, therefore, will be my thoughts and experiences leading up to my departure date on February 10th as well as my thoughts and experiences while I am there for 10 weeks volunteering for Living Hope as a Life Skills Educator Assistant.

I cannot promise you that you will always leave with some profound thought after you read my blog (although, deep down, I wish you would), but I do hope as you journey with me in this next phase of my life you will better see where my heart is and what God is doing through this experience.
