Every player had to pick up the stick for the first time…
So here I go, but this time picking up my pencil for the first time (or should I say, keyboard?). A little under a year ago I dreamt of the idea of starting a blog, BUT beginning felt difficult, thoughts flooded my mind like, what would I even write about? With what purpose? Who would want to read it? How do I do it authentically? How do I honor God well? Every word has to be perfect and oh, I might not stick with it anyways, so why do it? It begs the question; did I simply not know where to start or did the fear of beginning hold me back?
While out on a fun run- where I have my best thoughts- I realized it’s harder for me to get started than it is to stay in it. I’ll let the fear of not knowing the entire detail of the plan, where it will go, if it will have success, the need for perfection, to stop me in my tracks. It felt easier to dream than to take action.
SO, cheers to taking action and starting this blog, without knowing where it may go, and without every detail planned out, but with every hope that along the way I’ll discover more about myself as I already have in the lead up.
P.S.
Following each piece written in the blog, I will put a reflection question for you to explore, and scripture to meditate on through the process. See below :)

Scripture to mediate on: “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:9 NIV
