Welcome to the new (and hopefully improved!) "Watching with a Purpose"! I'm slowly but surely going to move older content from my previous site here, and hopefully upload a variety of brand new content over the next year! With school starting very soon, I wanted to establish a vision and schedule for this blog. Here are three of my goals:
1. Have a schedule (and stick to it!) Thanks to The Inner Tube, one of my all time favorite podcasts, one of my main goals for this blog is to regularly post content. This not only makes it easier for potential followers to know how often to check back, but it also keeps me accountable to keep fresh, new content available. Because of school (and general busyness:), my goal is to update my blog at least every two weeks. 2. Improve my writing abilities I have some old posts from my previous blog that I would like to re-post. However, in keeping with the spirit of this goal, I plan to revise my work to better reflect my writing progress over the last year before uploading to my new site. 3. Write a post exploring the importance of using discernment in the media we engage with, and what that looks like in my own life. This is something I've been avoiding for a while, because I'm honestly not sure what my beliefs on the subject really are. Obviously I believe that, as a Christian, the way I engage in media should be different than the world around me. I also firmly believe that what we take into our minds changes who we are and influences our thoughts, opinions, and worldviews. But I've never taken the time to write down WHY it's so important that we use discernment. I think it's important that I have those thoughts organized in my brain, and writing them all out should help with that. If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions about this blog, feel free to contact me! I'd love to hear from you!
