…but is far from good.
Last week, I asked if I looked like a chicken. I’m slowly becoming aware of how important it is to keep writing, especially the harder things. The posts that sometimes cause me the most grief are often times the exact ones that some reader needs right at the precise moment.
Another lesson in keeping with the chickenness theme:
There is no shame in honest posting.
I need to quit second (and sometimes third, fourth & fifth) guessing myself all the time. I should never write something where I feel the need to prepare defense rebuttals, or have my mouse hover over the delete icon. More energy needs go into the actual writing and not dreaming up some imaginary defense plan that should never be needed.
Besides, if what I write is true, is honest and is what God has impressed upon my heart, then there definitely is no shame in writing it and sharing it.
I’ve been struggling a bit for the last couple months, as to what sort of spin I want on this blog and if it was an accurate representation of who I am and what I’m about. There were all sorts of temptations lurking here and there too. Opportunities to blog here, guest there. Opportunities to work as a product reviewer, with perks of increased blog traffic, free product and perhaps even compensation. Yet, I knew that the public at large would probably think me crazy for including some spiritual discussion and using God’s name in ways more positive than in vain. It all came down to asking myself whether it was more important to please myself or to please God.
I choose to set aside my material desires and focus more on what God would have me to write and share.
