One Year
It’s conference again, which means it has been one year since I said yes and started writing.
It was the Friday of conference last year when I texted my friend Patience and asked her to take a peek at what I had been working on and was now out there for everyone to see.
It was scary.
I’m an introvert.
The last thing I want is for others to know my inner thoughts.
Too vulnerable and wayyyy out of my comfort zone.
But I was asked to do it and I said yes.
Turns out, writing has been an extremely therapeutic resource for me, but more than that, it has shifted the lens in which I view our world and our experiences.
In each moment, I am now looking for where God is active in this? Where can we see Him? What is He trying to tell us in this season or experience?
If you’ve never walked through a day like that, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Writing has been a love letter to Him, a release for me, a deepening of my understanding of Him, and an increased longing for more of Him.
I do not have the answers. I am not the one to come to for biblical answers. My theology might be wrong in some places. But I am on this journey to knowing Him more and more.
Justin can tell you this is only by the Holy Spirit.
This was not my idea.
But God called me back and I am so grateful I turned and am walking more closely with Him than ever before.
Who knows what I will write next, how often, or for how long, but as long as God puts words on my heart and asks me to share, however rudimentary or simple, I will write and share.
My prayer is that anyone reading this will feel God’s love. Will feel my love for you. Will feel encouraged or comforted. Will feel that there is someone out there who sees you. Will know that you are not alone in this crazy topsy-turvy world.
My prayer is that you leave with hope, but not my hope, the ultimate hope.
Blessings to you all.
