So, I love writing. In the past I have attempted to start
blogging and just share from my heart and my world but mostly from my mommy
brain. But I stopped because I felt like I was talking to no one. And I know
people say “do it for yourself!” But… why? Why would I do that? I feel as if
whatever I am doing is a waste of time if it isn’t helping or encouraging
someone. As a Christian, my belief is that everything I do is for God. And what
does God want from me? To love people. So if I’m writing, and no one is reading
(which would mean that no one is getting help, love or encouragement from me
through my writing)…. To me, it seems pointless. A waste of my time and God’s.
So why am I here again….writing? Because I must. Maybe no
one is reading this. But maybe one of you is. And you are important to me. And
maybe someday in the future… there will be more of you reading.
God gave me talents. One of them, I feel, is writing. One of
my passions, is making people feel comfortable with themselves or a situation
and to let them know that they’re not alone. So why not combine my talent and
my passion?
Here’s the thing: I don’t want to ask anyone to do anything
just to make myself feel validated or better about myself. But I just want to
ask ONE tiny thing of you…. If you read my blog posts, and in the future…if a
post that you read makes you go “huh, so I’m not the only one, eh?” or something
to that affect …could I ask a ginormous favor of you? Will you “like” my post
or comment with an emoji or whatever… just so I am encouraged to know that I
can continue writing for you?
Ok… now that that’s over (I seriously feel like I just asked
you to join my company and go door-to-door selling products)…. I will begin
working on my writing.
Until next time…
(Feel free to scroll through my post from this past summer. Some recipes and some thoughts.)
Love it! I will be following your blog. Thank you for being bold. Your first post encourages me to start a poetry blog that I've been procrastinating about for a few years now. I care way way too much what people think and what they might say about topics that I would write about that I choose to not write rather than possibly be humilated. Praying that fear will not hold me back from doing something I love. Thank you for choosing to write. I'm looking forward to what you have to say.
