I had been writing on my blog weekly and it felt great. But last week I got too busy with baking millions of Xmas cookies, and this week I have all the kids home and stressing me out, so I haven't written in two weeks. I don't want to not write-- it's important to me that I stick to what I started. But- ugh.
Part of me is feeling like a big baby, like, "no one is reading, no one notices, so it doesn't matter." But then I think, "well so what-- you're supposed to write because you have something to say; not because other people have something to hear." But then I do want it to be heard-- I mean, I guess if I'm honest, that's why I began a blog and not a diary. Anyway.
But I want to get back to it, to somehow make the time because it sure as hell isn't just landing in my lap. I feel like I need a swift kick in the ass or just some nice lovey encouragement. If you have either to offer, I'd really appreciate it.

hang in there. you do have a talent for writing keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteT, I've been quoting you to all of my friends. Especially, your blog intro about not hiding your life from your christian friends and your faith from your friends who don't believe. That really struck a cord with me. Lots of mhmm and aha moments out there b/c of you. don't quit writing. God made your voice unique. If you stop using it, there is absolutely no replacement.
ReplyDeleteI love how you just ask for what you need. I SUCK at that. Too closed off. You are my example in so many ways.
I'm lovin' your blog. Keep it up!
Love and Peace to you,
Jenny
I've been reading it every week. You're a great writer and it's nice to see how you apply God to your life and family.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your blog every week! I'm sure it's hard to sit down and gather your thoughts with all of the madness that surrounds the holidays. You'll get your groove back with the New Year!

ReplyDeleteKeep writing. (this swift kick in the ass brought to you by Chris Hiatt)
ReplyDeleteThank you, all. Your encouragement means a lot to me! I have notes ready to turn in to a post-- that was the easy part. Now I have to sit myself down and just do it!
