Sometimes writing blogs silences my voice
I don't know why I feel the need to change my voice/words to write a blog. Maybe it's this unspoken pressure I feel to have an epic blog that gets reposted, recognized and 300 reads. I'm not super eloquent or articulate. So I haven't been blogging because to me my blogs won't be like that so why write them. But this month I've been learning that God doesn't talk to us the way we think He should – He talks to us the way we are. So its okay if my blogs won't be the super articulate ones – I need to use my words because God is in them and what's happening is still real.
If you have seen my Facebook or Instagram it probably looks like I'm vacationing on the beach. I have fallen in love with the beach. There is something addicting about it. I find myself waking up at 8 am to get some beach time before the rest of the day happens. Just to watch the waves roll in and back out. I can't get enough. At times when we are doing other things I find myself wishing I was at the beach. The loud silence of the waves lull me into a place of vulnerable peace where my mind calms down and I am able to be alone with God and talk with Him undisturbed.
Being alone is something I've been craving more than ever this month which isn't normal for me but, neither is the world race. The reason for all the alone time is God has been showing me a lot this month and I could easily write a a blog on each of these points. But I'm still trying to understand what these things look like for me and how to walking into them. So for now they are prayer requests I would love if you could pray for:
- Being less timid with my words and to understand the power I hold when I speak
- Seeing the wisdom I have and speaking it
- Finding my identity in Christ and not in the things I do
- Learning how to rest in God
This month has been so much more than I expected. I want to do these things and be changed but it's just hard some days.
Also I'm in need of $75.00 to reach my next deadline (Oct. 1st). If you feel so inclined to help out. Please click the support me button at the top on my blog.
Because of your support I've been blessed with this view… thank you
