I’ve been thinking a lot about my blog recently. It began as a project to share health tips and mom struggles with other moms. Later on, I felt led to talk about a lot more than just health-related topics or being a mother. I felt like God wanted me to use my voice to share HIM with others. So I began writing about Him. But along the way, my voice wavered. I became influenced by others’ ministries and what God had placed on their hearts to share. I started thinking maybe I should be sharing their words instead of mine. And then, I lost my focus and ability to write.
Do you sometimes wonder if God is shaking His head at us?
We say, “Use me, God! Send me!” So, He gives us a specific job to do, and we start out on fire for Him. And then somewhere along the way, the enemy creeps in with his whispers of doubt or shame, and when we’re not strong enough to withstand the adversary, we fail in the mission we were assigned.
God didn’t tell me to use my blog to share what He had given to someone else. God told me to share what He had given to ME. And when I stopped doing that, my writing withered away. Why?
Well, because I didn’t understand the assignment. Maybe someone out there needs to hear a specific story about something He’s done in my life. And in my fear of failure, I choked.
So now what? Well, I want this little spot on the internet to be where I share what God has done for me. I want everyone to know how my life has been blessed because of Him. I want YOU to see how AMAZING He really is. Because He isn’t some unreachable God in the untouchable void. He is real, He is here, and He is always with us.
Stay tuned. My personal rescue stories are coming.
Love,
Emily
