Welcome To My World!

Hello & Welcome!

I have decided to start a blog, and will be committed to updating it at least weekly. I have a lot of thoughts and things I ponder on which I am almost certain aren't too far from things you may think about. My blog will consist of many different topics of discussions: What is it like to be young in the church, relationships in the church, college life, young pursuing marriage, friendships, agriculture, and much more. I am just sharing my experiences and thoughts about life.

I like to talk and if anyone has anything that they would like me to discuss in a blog, please feel free to email me at Shotikasmith7@gmail.com and I will definitely add it to the list (if appropriate). None of these posts will be an attack on any individuals or groups of people, everything will be appropriate and God-centered.

Again, welcome and I am excited you are joining me to just have real talk! First blog coming in the next couple of days!
