Let’s Do This

As I sit down to write my first blog post, I’m not sure where to begin. This blog has been a long time in the making. So, I prayed. I asked God where to start. He said the beginning.

I’ll begin with why God wants me to do this and then tell you why I have been putting it off.

God began speaking to me late last year about sharing my personal testimony and my relationship with Him more publicly. I’ve always thought, ‘there isn’t much to tell!’ But the more I asked for wisdom and understanding in this matter-the more He revealed!

My personal testimony is something I want to share in another post. One thing at a time. God revealed I have much to tell and He wants me to: encourage women to pursue Him first, encourage women in their marriages, be a light to my generation and to share my personal testimony.

Have you ever dragged your feet when God has asked you to do something? Yeah, me either. πŸ˜‰ He really started flooding me with ideas and inspiration in January. Hello, it’s now July. So what’s been going on in my world?

  1. I’ve been busy. That sounds terrible but it’s true. This explanation requires a whole other post in itself. Trust me.
  2. I’ve been afraid. Of. Everything. Afraid that it won’t be perfect…because you know, it’s suppose to be. Afraid that I will fail and let people down. Afraid of criticism for any and every reason. Afraid that my underlying motivation wasn’t pure.
  3. I don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe this should have been listed first. I don’t know about you…but I don’t like doing things that I’m not good at or things that make me uncomfortable. Like taking pictures for example….kind of a must for blogging, right? What’s a widget? What’s a plugin? I still don’t know.

This process has been very uncomfortable for me and it’s only the beginning! There’s so much I don’t know. However, I do know that God qualifies those He wants to use for His purposes. The more inadequate you feel, the more God will pour into you for His glory. Thank goodness I don’t have to have all the answers!

So there it is. The beginning of how Joy Comes in the Morning.

Has God been speaking to you about doing something new? What has your response been?
