i'm not the type to keep my thoughts in... here all the time.
not in my mind,
not in my journal,
not in my mouth,
...and not always in my heart.
sometimes, i probably need to keep things in my heart and keep them to myself for a while. sometimes i need to ponder and treasure more in my heart... but that is when i'm dealing with slightly different kinds of thoughts--seeds the Lord is planting.
in times when i'm holding my thoughts out for the world to see, i am facing others; i am saying, "this is what God is doing, and for some reason, i want you to know about it." the reason might be pretty theological, but for now, i am content to say that sometimes, i simply hold some thoughts in my hand--vulnerable, honest, connecting thoughts--some of which may help you know me better, and for all i know, make a difference in the way we face God.
