I've been wanting to write for some time now but kept hesitating and making excuses. My list of excuses consists of busyness to life in general to overconsumption of social media content that has given me writers block for several years. I feel like I have so much to write about that I sit back and do nothing. It takes discernment to choose who you follow and who you filter out on all platforms. Especially in an age where freedom of speech has become so controversial.
I've loved writing since a young age and even after college when I rambled about innovative ideas such as AI in construction and solar concrete. Something I love about writing is that it is one of the forms of expressions can be edited. The beauty I also see in writing is not just the art of choosing the words but the order of the words as well. I also find it interesting that out of all the thoughts that cross our minds in a single day or even in a minute, writers must discern which thoughts to express and choose how to express them.
A thought resonates with me today is how I got where I am today. At first it seems like the product of all my decisions I've made in the past but isn't it also the product of all the things I am not in control of?
You see, even though I believe God is in control of everything, I still wrestle with fear, doubt, anxiety, and worry, however, that's not to say I am hopeless. This year I'm making it my goal to trust in the Lord with ALL my heart and lean not on my own understanding. I am familiar with that verse but I have yet to live it. I'm committing to more writing, expression and seeing it develop into the story God is writing for my life. In return I hope to encourage, entertain, and even inspire whoever reads my posts to write and express themselves as well.
