Today marks one year of Life Of A Lizard. Starting with "Not-so-sweet" on May 12th of 2013. 113 posts (and who knows how many words) later, here we are. Ive loved every moment of it. There are three reasons I do this; three reasons this blog exists. 1)Preservation.
I have found no better way to save and protect my writing. Neither have I found a better way to preserve them for my kids...or "my kids" in the future. How better Will be able to prove to them, "I was a teenager once, I know what youre going through."? I hope to be able to use these to raise my children someday. 2)Personal. This blog is my own personal spiritual development course. ;) Before I share anything on here, I first learn it myself. And as I write, I learn even more about myself. He teaches me as I try to be a blessing and encouragement to y'all. Writing these posts is so beneficial to my own walk with Him. Being unable to find the time to spend in front of a screen with a blinking cursor has a more negative effect on me than what most realize. These help the writer! 3)Public. This is my main goal. This is what I'm supposed to do. A few weeks ago, I was really discouraged over this. It had been about a month since a post, and I'd had no time to sit and work on one, nor did I see any time in the future. I was ready to pull this site. As dedicated as I am to this, I couldn't fulfill the need to keep it up. But I was at work, and I just knew, this is my "ministry", this is my voice. This is my avenue to reach out to kids, teens, and adults alike. There were books I needed to read, blogs posts my heart needed to hear, but they weren't there. My desire is to provide those for others. These are for yall! So, Happy Birthday, Life Of A Lizard! Here's to many more to come. :)
