The Final Curtain Call

I tell myself and others that I don’t really care what people think, and most times I don’t, but the human, arrogant, performer side of me still yearns for the applause…some kind of approval. No matter what I tell myself, I still fight for a response. It’s not always on a grand scale, but there are some people who’s favor I feel like I can’t live without.

I started this blog as an outlet to share my heart in hopes of evoking that response…in hopes of saying something that touched someone, helped someone, or encouraged someone. I don’t know if I’ve been successful or not, but I feel like things have gone terribly wrong. People misinterpret, twist, and critique every word I write, and most times the response is completely negative. That is something I’m not ok with. I can’t live with a negative response to the Gospel, or any follower of it.

In light of that, I’m stopping, but before I go I have one thing to say.

It’s sort of clarification…

These days, I’m not willing to put up with much in my life that hinders my pursuit of Jesus and the advancement of the Gospel. If that’s a problem for you…that’s just something you’re gonna have to deal with. That’s where I DON’T seek your approval…
