Why a blog??

Several years ago, I first shared my desire to write a blog with my husband. He innocently asked me, "What do you have to say that is worth reading?"  I was crushed.  If he didn't think what I had to say was worth reading then who would?  So I did nothing with the dream that had been building inside of me.  A few weeks ago, on a whim, I decided to set up this blog.  I was going to write, finally! I was not going to tell my husband!  In my excitement I told my husband!  I waited anxiously for him to finish reading.  I was sure he was going to tell me it was great.  He sat back in his chair and said, "So, explain to me why a blog."  I wasn't expecting that response but in the next second I could see the wisdom in the question.  I started talking while he sat patiently listening as I worked out an answer to his question.  I want to write because writing helps me solidify the thoughts, feelings, ideas that float through my mind and heart.  So why not a journal?  I want a public platform not for public recognition but for accountability.  I like accountability.  If I write about something  that God is teaching me and I share it publicly then I feel a greater responsibility.  So why not just tell someone?  I know my children will experience trials and victories throughout their lives that I may or may not be around for.  I want them to know that they are not alone.
