I’ve got to tell on myself for a moment. It has taken me several weeks to get this blog post going. I’ve made all sorts of attempts at it. I’ve spoken with several people far more proficient than I in the art of blogging. I would go several nights a week up to my office for a couple of hours considering what to say, and how to say it. It’s been quite frustrating, as you can imagine.
As part of the World Race, it is highly encouraged to blog frequently. Understandably so, given it may be the only line of communication to the outside world. Further, I consider that it can be very helpful tool to assist processing everything that will happen on the World Race.
Yet, I find myself making as much progress as trying to swim in a pool of Jell-O. I read loads of information on how to proficiently blog and what not. It probably did more harm than good. Writing this now I can’t remember half the rules I read.
I’ve come to understanding that my writing will be in the process of development as much as I will spiritually. I was encouraged by one brother to find “my voice.” The end result being that as you read my blogs, you can almost hear me reading it to you. I consider it parallel to the journey of becoming who I am. Let me give you an example for context.
The scriptures say that I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I can surely tell you that I don’t always feel like that. However, as I mature in the Lord, that will become more of a “known” reality for me. So as it is, I don’t know what I should “sound” like, but through continued growth in the development of my writing I will surely discover my voice.
The end game will be you sitting on your laptop or phone while I’m a world away and feeling like you’re completely in touch with me. And over time you will not only see the work of God in every nation, but also His work in me.
