Five Minute Friday: If I Knew I Could, I Would…

Write regularly.  I’d maintain a personal blog, but also have a couple side writing jobs.  Something that will help bring in a little extra money to the household.  Not looking to be millionaires, but getting the debt paid off is a priority here.  I don’t want writing to be relegated to just a job though.
I’d write for others.  I’d share my ups and downs of living for and with Jesus.  I’d share some of the better tips
I’ve learned and received and developed since becoming a parent.  I’d write just to express myself.
At the same time, let me also say that I have no desire to pen a novel, at this point.  Would I ever write a book?  Perhaps, as long as I had a clear path and direction ahead of me.  And support.  Can’t forget the importance of support.
As I get older and (hopefully) wiser, I’m learning that words are only effective when they’re said and/or written down.  If I want to make an impact, I’ll have to start by saying something impactful.  This is a great starter forum.  
But I think I’d actually want more. 
Wow.  I said it out loud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that was my very first Five-Minute Friday post.  The main rule is this:
Write your heart out for five minutes straight, forgetting about perfection & editing.  (There are other things, like linking back to the person who referred you, etc.  Once I sort myself out, I’ll let you know where and how to link up.  In the meantime, I can say that I found this on The Gypsy Mama’s blog. )

    Hi Sabrina,
    Great first 5-minute post. It’s amazing what thoughts flow out when we write without over-analyzing. I loved reading your thoughts on words and writing…so true. I just tried the 5-minute challenge for the first time this week too…really enjoyed it.
    Have a great weekend,
    Cheryl
