I haven’t written in a month, a whole month I’ve just been, well, gone, had no particular push to write, didn’t feel like I had to at all, and I don’t, have to I mean, it’s just that I chose to, so I might as well do it well. I wasn’t even visiting the blog, hadn’t told anyone about it… I could say that for the past month the blog did not exist for me, and well, that is just wrong. In a way it is my ministry and I was just ignoring it, sure, maybe no one gets to read it, but, maybe someday… maybe I will actually compile these thoughts into a book that will go on to bless millions of people worldwide!! Ah well, a guy can dream :).
And then two days ago I got that weekly e-mail that always lets me know no one is visiting the blog, it doesn’t seem to exist for anyone else much as it didn’t exist for me… and lo and behold, I had had a single visitor!! That was all I needed to perk my curiousity so I mosey over to the blog to find out if they left a comment; well, they didn’t, not one I could see anyway, but I figured, since I was there anyway, might as well read through the stuff I had written oh so long ago.
From looking back, it seems like something changed in my writing, suddenly instead of just sharing my walk, hoping someone can draw strength from where I have drawn strength, learn from the mistakes I have made along the way, I was preaching… and of course, I am no preacher, I cannot be a preacher, but I can at least try to be a writer, a good writer…
In my second to last post, I simply wrote a prayer, I was wondering what to write, how to write what I wanted to communicate, but there are more than enough preachers out there, I am not one of them so here, now, I get off my soapbox, and just well, write… that is my gift, that is what I am being called to do, just to write, just to be me, to be human like anyone else, make my mistakes, learn from them and hopefully have someone else learn from them too. Sure, I may not always be eloquent, but I can be sincere, and when I wrote that prayer I was being sincere…
I did say I will not give up… but I guess I did, and yet it is such a simple task He has called me to do!!
So again I say to whoever may stumble across this blog; walk with me, learn with me, and this time, with His grace, I will stay on this path and not presume to lead, to preach.
Have a great week…
