It's been a little over a year since I started this blog. Looking back over my entries it's obvious that they have become fewer as time goes on. So I wondered, why is that? Which leads me to my confession...I have been swayed by that little voice that whispers "That isn't worth writing about. Don't even bother. No one would find that interesting. That wouldn't make sense. What do you know?" And on and on. Do you know that little voice? It seems no matter how much encouragement I get, it is still there. I post an entry and wonder "Should I just delete this?" I have thought about getting rid of the blog all together. But today I am choosing to listen to other voices. The voices of encouragement I have received. And the voice of my Father telling me to quit worrying about pleasing others and to remember why I started this in the first place...to bring honor to Him. I am choosing to face my insecurities and continue to share whatever is on my heart, along with passing on some of the wisdom I'm learning from others. I am committing to post at least once a week. And I am telling that little voice to Shut Up.

Confession
It's been a little over a year since I started this blog. Looking back over my entries it's obvious that they have become fewer as time goes on. So I wondered, why is that?

Why blog?
"Be who you are because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" - Dr. Suess
I have felt a stirring in my soul lately that God wants me to create a blog. I admit that I have been resistant to it. Will anyone care what I have to say? Do I really want to step out of my comfort zone and share my heart? But then I think of all the lessons God has been teaching me and wonder...what if what I'm learning is not only for my growth, but could be used to benefit others as well?
My hope is that through this blog you will get to know me, and be inspired and encouraged in your own journey. Even if no one reads these words, I am at peace knowing that I am being obedient to the One who matters most.
And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I'll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. - Psalm 119:45-46 (Msg)
