“You aren’t a good writer.”

“Everyone has a blog.”

“You won’t stick with it.”

These are the thoughts that have crept into my mind as I have continued to dream about starting up a blog. So many lies have entered my head about doing this. I think my biggest thing is honestly, I’m not much of a writer. That was always the task I absolutely DREADED in school. Essays, papers, you name it…. I procrastinated. And I’m not much of a procrastinator.

But you know what? I decided even if writing isn’t my “thing,” that I would try it out. What do I have to lose? Why do I need to be a perfect writer?

What if I flip those questions and ask it another way…what if I just try it? How will I know if I like it if I don’t give it a shot? I mean – maybe I’ll end up really enjoying it! Plus – this definitely isn’t the same thing as writing an essay on America’s famous wars in history or something of that nature… *yawn.*

So let’s give this thing a go! Thanks for following along with me. I encourage you, if you have something you want to just try out, to just do it!! Seriously – I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves to only do things that we think we will do perfectly or already know everything about. If that was the case… I don’t think much would be accomplished in our world. I’m learning that in this season, I need to just have fun and embrace new things, and not take myself so dang seriously!
