I’m Gonna Try Again

In my heart, I have always loved writing. When I was little I would walk around and make lists of things….. just for the sake of writing. I went to a small children’s camp every summer at Indian Lake Nazarene Church Camp. One year I decided to make a list of what to bring to camp… and this list started in maybe? October! So, for the next 9 months or so I wrote a list of absolutely everything that I might possibly bring to camp. The list ended up at about 700 or so and had more things that I could have put in a moving van. In middle school I started a journal of poems that I had written. I wrote so many poems (on topics including love and heartache that would have made people think I was a middle aged woman who’d lost many loves lol). As a new Mom I began to journal the happenings of my day and the wonderful little things that I wanted to remember about my baby and motherhood. I’ve continued to do that but have faded off some as life has gotten busier with 4 little ones. Writing has always been therapeutic for me. Cleared my thoughts, relieved stress, or just made one less thing cluttering my brain with stuff to remember. For a while now, the Lord has laid writing on my heart again. I just didn’t know what to do with it. I’m not eloquent. I don’t have a lot of extra time. and I certainly don’t have it altogether. I’ve decided to start blogging, mostly for my own therapy but in hopes that I might also be a blessing to those around me. I might learn a few things that I can share or just might be honest about my mistakes so that others can learn from them but whatever comes, I love the Lord with all my heart and want to honor Him with whatever I do. Starting writing is a step of faith and I will let Him bring of it whatever He desires.
(Ok, I wrote all of that and opened up my blog that I had started a while back and realized that I said relatively the same thing about 2 1/2 years ago) I’m older and wiser now though, right? HaHa
