Don’t Keep Silent
When I started this blog, my plan was to post maybe three times a week. Let me emphasis that this was my plan. I felt that God wanted me to post every day, but I wasn’t quite on board with that. I went through a list to rationalize why my plan was the better plan.
- People get annoyed with over posting. And when I say people, I mean me…LOL.
- I really don’t have that much to write about. What if the subjects dry up? I’m not gonna be out here just doing something. Then what God???
- Posting every day is a big time commitment. Especially when this wasn’t my idea in the first place.
I even ran my plan about posting two or three times a week by Bible Study Brother. He thought that was cool as long as I was consistent. Then he started to expound on places the blog could take me, and I shut him down. I had to emphasize that I’m just writing. Don’t get carried away.
But Bible Study Brother is not God. And just because he thought the idea was sound doesn’t mean that is was okay for me to roll with it. Like I told you before, this wasn’t my plan. It was God’s. So I have had to follow His lead.
I’m not going to lie. It’s been hard. But even harder lately because I’m struggling with this book that I’m writing. I DON’T WANT TO WRITE IT!!! In church Sunday, my pastor deviated from his sermon to push the point that we don’t need to be silent. (I only know he deviated because he told us that this wasn’t even part of his sermon. The Holy Spirit wanted him to emphasize the point.)
I know that message was for me. I can’t keep silent. I have to continue to write this book. It’s not only going to free me, but it will free someone who needs to read it. Even if I’m the only one that it frees, to God be the glory! Pray for me. I’m praying for ya’ll. #wepreach

Thank you for being obedient to him , your gift is blessing me . I love God and I’m a warrior that goes to war daily with not being silent or feeling should I not say anything because how it maybe perceived.

I struggle with being open and honest with people. I like to keep that stuff inside. I’m so glad the blog is helping you. It’s helping me and growing my faith.
