Writing is one of those things in life that I let slip through the cracks. Yet, it’s the very thing that puts me back on course. At one point in my life, I told myself I wanted to be a writer. I kept telling myself that I could do it but the thing about me, if one person tells me it’s impossible, I let that voice linger around until the very thing I once loved slips away. Time and time again, my emotions have caused me to quit on things that once gave me joy.

Here I am, at age 26, trying to once again make my voice loud. Loud as it can be this time. What do I have to lose?

I think my main fault in all of this is hearing that evil voice tell me what I am doing is pointless. But praise the Lord that I hear an even louder voice saying, do it pointless – with nothing to gain or nothing to lose.

Lately, there feels like a roaring lion inside of me begging me to speak. Speak about things that may be pointless. Speaking about things that bring me joy and deep sorrow. Again, what do I have to lose?

Anyone who knows me on a personal level knows how filled I used to be with writing. It was the very thing that saved me when I was becoming a Christian. If it was not for stepping out and writing vulnerable blog posts that may be 10/15 people read, I would not be here continuing to say how great the Lord is for installing in my heart to write again in another season of my life.

The beautiful thing about your life is it’s your life! You dictate what you put in and take from it. For me, it feels like for the first time in a long time things are changing in ways that can only be from God. I want to share those revelations because, at the end of the day, that’s the main purpose of life as a Christ follower. Spread the name of Jesus. But not just that, be honest. I feel like in today’s age, Christians have a bad rep in certain things of this world. I just want to be as real (to the extent I am comfortable with) as I can be.

I decided to bring a blog to Stamped by Sis. Stamped by Sis is the biggest blessing that the Lord has laid on my heart.

My goal for this blog is to just be myself. Honestly. There is nothing else I can say other than that. What I write about is my truth. I can only hope that this blog brings a bit of sunshine to your day. Life is so weird, and things are never linear. And you’ll discover that when I share things that are personal to me or when I share parts of the Bible.

A thought for you, it’s never too late to reopen a closed dream. You can be 26 or 66, it’s never too late. Pray over things that you thought were out of reach. Pray over the very thing that you’ve been dying to try out. And once you finished praying… do.

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plan I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”
