As if anyone actually reads this

So, I am not totally sure whether anyone reads this or not, but, just in case there are a few people that do, I apologize for the lack of posts over the summer. My summer was a busy one but a great one. God really taught me a lot and showed me so much about my own life but also about the world around me. I cannot think of a better way that I could've spent my summer than serving in Downtown Atlanta.
One of the things I began to think about over the summer was the idea of blogging. For me, I would have thoughts during the summer, or something God showed me, or a cool story and I was never in the mood to write up a long blog in hopes someone might read it. I was ready to share this story or thought with someone. To continue building a friendship with someone through conversations and not what can often times feel like talking into an empty room with no one that is listening. (As if I have something worth hearing.)
All that to say that over the summer I tried to focus more on how I was investing in different friendships and relationships instead of thinking about what kind of cool blog post I could write. But, I think that maybe this fall will provide opportunities for me to practice both investing in people through relationships and to practice writing and getting thoughts out there for all to see and read.
I wrote in my journal a lot this summer, so maybe some of those thoughts will start to surface. This summer was filled with great experiences so maybe a summer recap is on the way, maybe not. I will try to get back on some sort of blogging schedule, just know, if you are reading this right now I would find it much more exciting to actually receive the opportunity of sitting with you and discussing the things that I have learned. But if we never get that opportunity, then I will continue throwing out some random thoughts on this blog so that you may have a small window into my life.
Thank you, that is all.

  1. I read!
    And I want you to post more blog posts :) Because it will be a bit hard to jump on a plane and fly to Atl for a couple hours to catch up, unfortunately.
    I appreciate this little window into the life of nathan cook!

  2. Hey Nathan! Be sure to keep us updated on what you're doing this semester. Most of us are just giving it the old college try.
