Desire Trumps Fear

For some time I have had a desire to begin blogging.  Though the desire was there the fears lingered in my mind.  What if it's boring? What if absolutely no one reads my writing? Misspellings? Oh no! I can't. My writing isn't flawless, nor is it often though provoking. The fears lingered and therefore I continued to look at other's blogs with envy. 

All of my life the Lord has instilled in me a love for writing. I love to journal, write poetry and read an array of writings.  Although I love it, I don't claim to be a talented writer.  But then it was clear to me. The Lord doesn't ask for talent, he asks for willingness. Willingness to open your heart, expand your mind and let the words flow. So flow they will. My words, my thoughts, my dreams, my fears...this is my story.  

And if it's boring then I will conclude I have a simple heart.  If no one reads, I will consider this my personal journal.  If I misspell a word, you will see why I never made it past the area spelling bee.  What I will gain in the mean time is accountability.  I desire to be held accountable to taking my life slower, enjoying each moment and having a memoir of life's sweetest memories.  The life I am now living is a dream for me. I always desired to be a wife, a mother and a homemaker. I am living my dream and I desire for YOU to be a part of my life. Welcome to My Blog!
