Confusion
I haven't been posting for a while because I'm not sure if this is right. I'm not sure if I should be posting this publicly. Maybe some people should, but I'm not sure if I should. Also, a comment made on the first entry of mine gave me even more reason to stop posting these publicly. See the first post and you'll understand. I think this will be my last post. I will continue my experiment. Actually, I think I will incorporate "Surprise me, God" into my prayers even after the experiment.
Love God, embrace beauty, live life to the fullest.

I am truly sorry that a person's ignorance has led you to decide to stop blogging about your Surprise Me experience…although I completely understand your reasons for doing so. I am member of the Upper Room Community and we participated in the Surprise Me experiment this past spring. The concept of blogging our thoughts was new to a lot of us, but it has resulted in such immense blessings. It brought us together as a community. It opened up avenues of expression and communication between both strangers and friends. We learned about each other’s struggles, hurts and joys. We were given a glimpse into work of God in each other’s lives that we might not have normally seen. We have continued to share with each other, support each other and love each other as a community of Jesus followers trying live life in the rhythm of Jesus. Our blogs have helped us do this.
Like I said, I understand why your choosing to stop blogging, but I’d like to encourage you to continue just under your terms. Perhaps change the name of your blog, use a different provider, but I’d like to encourage you to continue just not publicly.
I never knew Kyle Lake but I have been praying for Kyle’s family and the family at UBC and I will continue to do so. May you experience “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding.”
Thank you. Your comment, along with the words of my mom, has helped me realize that my choice to stop blogging was made through weakness. I should not let this man make my decision for me and I need to take God's surprises. I'm not going to change my blog or stick in the absent days because this way it is a true reflection of my struggles. Thank you for helping me to overcome my weaknesses.
