I know I'm supposed to have something profound to add to my blog every day. But, being new to blogging, I wasn't sure anything I had to say was very useful to anyone else. Then I decided that I'm not so different from everyone esle. I struggle day to day trying to find a better way of life and to improve my God given talents, whatever they may be.
So I have decided to use my blog to talk about the issues in my life and how I am dealing with them and what I discover helps me to imporve my life. There are plenty of profound bloggers out there and I wouldn't presume to add myself to their class or level of usefulness.
I hope some of you will comment and offer suggestions from time to time on the subjects I post.
Today during my quiet time I discovered that journaling and writing down the things that are pressing on my mind helps me to sort them out. The things that are most concerning to me that are hard to find the words for during prayer, come easier to me when I write them down. As I type them into my journal, often I find that inspiration comes to mind and there's an honesty within my mind that sometimes pride, shame, or fear keeps me from openly admiting. For example, I have been given a great opportunity to increase my income with a new opportunity. But I seam unable to get started. I have fallen for all the negative around me. I am to proud to risk judgement from my family and peers. I'm too ashamed to face those that are paying the price for freedom from debt. I am afraid of what others will say about my business.
Why is it I know these things yet still let them influence me?
