I'll bet you think this song is about you

Have you ever been on Instagram and seen a friends quote and automatically thought it was about you, I have. Have you ever been in church and walked out saying "that sermon was meant for me", I have. 

Since I started writing this blog I have gotten negative and positive feedback, which I expected. However this blog, these post are not meant to spark a discussion about me personally. While I may write about things I have experienced. I also write about things that others have experienced. Or things that someone may have experienced themselves and afraid to express. 

The purpose of this blog is to cause you to reflect. Reflect on others and most importantly yourself. Every post is meant to leave the reader with something to think about. Every post I pray causes the reader to "feel" a certain way. Now when I say feel, I mean what do you walk away with. There are a plethora of feelings and not everyone will feel the same. 

Feelings can be triggered by many things but the trigger is not responsible for the feeling. Just as the writer is not responsible for the readers feelings. The owner of the feeling is responsible for it. So if you read a post and you take something negative away, it is NOT the writers responsibility to explain your feeling. That's when self evaluation becomes so important. You must say to yourself, Self what is it within me that this saying, this post, this quote, this sermon is causing me to feel this way?"

Don't ever become too preoccupied with what is happening around you. Pay more attention to what is going on within you !!!!
