Everybody's Doing It

Everybody’s doing it. Yes, that is a phrase I’ve heard a few times in my house while raising my teenage daughter. I spoke it too many times growing up. Everybody’s doing it.  Well, if everyone jumped off a bridge, would you? How many times have you heard that one? Today it’s a phrase that crosses my mind as I sit here and contemplate starting a blog; everybody’s doing it, should I? Obviously, I have since you are reading this post. I don’t take that phrase lightly when it comes to going against my values, morals or things I deem inappropriate.  I also relate this to my daughter and to my son who has also stated this phrase. I tell them to be careful in their decisions and ask God for wisdom and guidance; just because everyone is doing it, doesn’t make it ok, right, true or praiseworthy.  I am not a writer by any means but I do hope that I am able to inspire, encourage, or support someone through a life I consider is far from perfect, always changing, sometimes boring (ok maybe most of the time) but always leaning on this one truth, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua  24:15.  Thank you for taking this journey with me as I share my thoughts and creative ideas that the Lord gives to me.  I hope through creating, it brings life to a monotonous day. God created us in his image and through His eyes our life is certainly not boring but keeps God very busy! Let the creative juices flow!
