This blog will be used primarily to keep the WORLD updated on the life of Angela and her journey with God through the ministries of Athletes in Action.Update #1: I'm cutting back on my Facebook usage.
I have asked many people for support and prayer throughout this journey and it doesn't seem fair to withhold the details of my walk from the amazing people who have offered their support! So, when I realized that Facebook is a significant time-waster in my life and that I need to cut down, I felt uncomfortable with the thought that I had no good alternative for sharing what's going on in my life with the people that I love and those who care about me. A blog seemed ideal because it allows me to both process my own thoughts and share stuff with the communities that surround me in a way that's not so self-absorbent (referring to the instant gratifications of "likes" and "comments") or public (having all 742 of my "friends" able to "follow" me). I am still using Facebook for work-related purposes and to message people, but I'm trying to avoid the Newsfeed and others' timelines. These things have been fostering in me an attitude of comparison and judgement of myself and others and it just had to go!

Next post, I'll share what the background of this blog signifies.
