My first blog :)

Sooo my friend convinced me to do this (thanks, Angela :)).
I'm not 100% sure this will be the most interesting thing in the world to read but yesterday I was sitting trying to think about what I could talk about on my blog, if I made one. So here I am. I was intrigued when I read Angela's blog because it can turn into to something really interesting and I doubt mine would be as interesting as hers but she has always been way better at stuff like this than I have. Kuddos to Angela!
Our stories are very similar, the major difference between mine and her stories is that they take a turn in different parts of our lives.
My story begins 10 years ago when my mom dragged me away from my "friends" to this crazy place that I thought would be fields and cows and nothing more. Boy, was I wrong! 10 years ago, I was outgoing, outspoken, and didn't care what others thought of me or what I was wearing. My whole world was turned upside down the day I entered middle school in a town that I thought was going to contain no people. I went from being class clown and not having a care in the world to being the butt of all jokes and not saying a word for the fear that someone was going to make me feel like an idiot. I don't want sympathy from anyone...I was a weird kid, but I was happy when people liked me being weird. People here are MEAN! So outspoken, fun Megan turned into quiet, boring Megan...someone that I didn't want to be. In 9th grade, I found God, the best thing that has ever happened to me! God showed me that the people that I was around probably weren't the best influence on me. So I found Angela...and judging by our stories and the fact that people used to say "you guys are EXACTLY the same" led me to believe that we were meant to be friends. Even though I found my best friend...I still wasn't the person I wanted to be, or that God wanted me to be, but he showed me people who helped me and are helping me become that person.
All through school, I was at the mercy of my friends and co-workers, I always heard things like "Megan, do this with your hair", "Megan, wear more color", "Megan, don't say that or do this". Trust me, it was probably better that I was at the mercy of those people or I would be a colorless person with my hair up all the time...BORING! Anyways, now that I am 21 and married, I don't want to be at the mercy of anyone except for God...and I feel like I am getting there. My relationship with Him is always growing and will be growing until the day that I am with Him in Heaven. But, I want to be happy with myself while I go on my journey, so I am going to convert to 10 year old Megan who is outspoken and fun, with limits, of course.
So, that's what my blog will be about, I will be opinionated and outspoken, and through God's word, I will test the thoughts and opinions of others.
Now, sometimes, I probably won't talk about my opinions and thoughts, maybe I will release frustration or try to convey my happiness through my blogs, non-the-less, comments are welcome and encouraged. :)
So, in a couple of weeks, I will either be thanking Angela or telling her it was a bad idea to get a blog, either way, I guess it's something new.

Write what you feel is important to you. Regardless of how another may take it. It is your words you are putting down, and if they don't like it for whatever reason, they don't have to read it.
