Going on 3 months now if I'm being generous and counting my January post. Realistically though, it's been 7 months since I last truly blogged. I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not. I would say I've missed it; but that would only be a half truth.
You see, I have missed writing. The spring of creativity that flows out of me when I click "New Post" is a sensation I truly miss. What I haven't missed is what a lot of my past blogging did to me.
Everytime I wrote, I created a world that wasn't real and I created a me that was fiction and convinced myself that I was that fictional character, so much so that I became that fictional character and lived his lies. It was deception. And I was the deceiver and the deceived. I was damned.
The last few months I've been on a journey. A journey toward the true me. The real me, in Christ. There have been bumps along the road, there have been slips, and falls and many times I have turned as if to return. But I trudged along, blessed and broken and redeemed. And now I'm learning who I truly am. Who I was created to be.
So yes, I've missed writing; but not writing like I used to. The old me, as they say, is dead and gone. I am a new creature. And this new creature wants to write.
Not the old stuff. Obviously, some of my content is going to need to change. I won't be taking down the old stuff because sometimes it helps to remember where you've been. But going forward, I will glorify God, because that's what I'm called to do.
I don't know exactly what my new content will be, or how frequently it will come but when it does you will be the first to hear.
I love you all. God bless you
EDIT: I should probably mention that this blog is not going to turn religious or preachy. I'm just going to keep sharing my life as it goes in lurid detail. I hope you find it entertaining and if not, I apologize. In the meantime, I found this fantastic book

Congrats on the new you. I hope you find strength in this new journey. I look forward to the writings.ap
It's crazy how I randomly connected with you on Twitter today. Lol @ turning all preachy on us, being you is the best thing you can be.
I am happy about the path you're leaping towards. It'll be a GREAT leap...i.e. greater than you even expected. And I'm not just saying that because I talk about God so much on my blog BTW...LOL.
Cheers! xoxo
I would be worried if you turned all preachy.
Cant wait to read new work from you ;)
no probs
I love you whether you are preachy or not. just be real.
I used to use my gift of writing to write fantasy, real good, i could not write without going that way. when i started writing clean, it was a fight but if you check out my blog, its good now so God is walking with just be sure to always get up and depend on him.
welcome back mate.... you were missed... big ups on the new leaf too..
