Ok, so I’ve been joking about doing this, but I thought that maybe it would actually work. This blog is about not being able to blog.
I’m having a hard time with it. I’m not sure why. For some reason blogging has been a real challenge for me, especially lately. Since I’ve been on the race, I’d almost rather just write in my journal than blog. I’ve been doing really good about journalling. I’ve been doing it every day, which was my goal, but blogging has been hard, which I wasn’t expecting.
I guess in some cases I could just blog about what I’ve written in my journal, but a lot of that stuff is personal, and even though, at the same time, a lot of it isn’t personal, some of it just isn’t blog material.
I’m just not sure what to do. I still have blogs from training camp that I haven’t written yet. It’s frustrating, because I have what I want to write about, but I can’t think of what to write, and then it gets put off and put off and I come to a point where I wonder if it’s even significant anymore.
I know that it is. It’s my story, and my story is significant no matter when it’s told. I just wish that it would come to me a little easier.
Here’s some of the things I want to write about:
- The healing that God did in me at Training Camp
- My team
- Saying goodbye (or see you later) to my family
- Travel Day
- Finding my identity in Christ
But, here I sit, writing a blog about blogging. It’s ironic, I know, but I’m hoping it will help. Even if it doesn’t help me, maybe it will give encouragement to other racers who are having a hard time with it as well. You’re not alone in your blogging problems because if no one else is having the same problem, I am. So I’m going to say a prayer for you (and me) right now.
Father, God, come into our lives. We know you’re already present, but help us to feel you even more, God. You are so good and we long to feel your presence always. Lord, I ask that you give us the words to tell our story, because our story is Your story, and it’s a story that deserves to be told. So, God, touch our hearts. Touch our fingers, Lord. Help us, God. We want to be able to write these blogs, and not because other people want to see them, but because we want to share You with them. You’re doing something unique in all of our lives, Father, and I just ask you to wash over us. Pour into us. Give us clarity, and help us to not over think. God, help us to just tell it like it is. No one’s story is more significant than anyone else’s, because You crafted it, Lord. You broke the mold with them, and you’re doing miraculous things in all of us. Help us, God. Help us share You. Help us show off Your love. Because Your love is glorious! God, You are amazing and we love You so much. And it’s in the precious name of Jesus that I pray all of this. Amen.
In closing, I’ll offer a bit of advice that I’ve come up with for myself. Maybe we don’t need to think it all out. Maybe we should just start writing. That’s what I did with this blog, and it was so easy! Just write what you’re feeling! Tell your story, because you’re story is glorious and amazing, because it was written by the King, himself.
Stay blessed, everyone. God is good!
