A friend stopped by the other day to give me a message from God - “You hang on to what defines you, but let go because God has more for you. God has to define you.”
I’m still chewing on that one but know that it is true.
What defines me? I would say my books. What is my passion? I would reply reading. However, I sense there is so much more there. What can I do with books and reading?
Someone once said that with all the reading I do I should also write. That statement blew me away because I had been tossing around the idea of writing. I hadn’t written in quite awhile because I had suppressed the urge since I was laughed at when I was younger.
God put a dream in all of us. For the longest time I wasn’t sure what my dream was until I started my blog. I love my blog. There is more I could do with it and I’m still trying to find what my niche is but at least I’m writing and posting regularly.
Starting a blog was one of the hardest things I had ever done. Wait…no. Telling friends I had a blog was hard because then other people I knew might find out and read what I had to say. I was worried about what they would think. I’m getting over that fear.
The other day I sat down and started writing again. God put an idea in my head and I am slowly getting it out. I would like to branch out and learn more about writing. This is a huge step for me…admitting I want to be a writer.
It doesn’t matter whether I get published or not, what matters is that I write and improve my writing skills.
I am slowly overcoming my fears and striving for my dreams.
