I’m writing this post because I finally decided to do what God called me to do.
I hesitated enough, He gave me enough confirmations, and I’ve been disobedient enough.
The final confirmation came when I watched a video from Cindy Trimm about stepping out and pursuing what we are called to do, even when we don’t feel ready. And believe me, I don’t feel ready, I’m still afraid, but I decided I’m just going to do it. Heaven backs obedience, and being obedient means taking action on what He has already called me to do.
Writing is my gift. I’ve known that for a long time. But I’ve also started and quit more blogs than I want to admit. My last blog was in the personal finance niche and even though I was reaching people, none of them knew what and who I stood for. It didn’t sit right with me and eventually I just quit it. I decided whatever I wrote about needed to be my primary ministry. God had to be in it. So here were are.
I was afraid I was too flawed to encourage anyone.
I was afraid I wasn’t disciplined enough to commit consistently.
I was afraid I didn’t hear God clearly.
I was afraid this would fail like the others.
And the biggest fear of all was this question.
What if I do this and it doesn’t work?
God does not give vision without provision. That’s what I’ve learned so far. He does not call without equipping. He does not lead without sustaining. If He placed this on my heart, then He will provide the strength, the wisdom, and the people who need to read these words. (This is really more for me than for you, but I hope you are encouraged to be obedient to your calling.
God redeemed me, restored me, and renewed me after I drifted so far from Him that I nearly lost hope. Writing about anything else felt empty compared to what He had done in my life.
This blog is my response to that redemption.
Jesus is my everything, and I am nothing without Him.
This blog is my real-life journey.
There are women who will relate to this. Women who are waiting to hear what God has placed in my heart to share. Women who need to know that drifting doesn’t disqualify them and that returning is always possible.
