Why Am I Doing This Again?

Ok, a little honesty here.

I’m tired.

Sometimes, I’m tired of writing.

I don’t mean that as something that’s going to last forever…it’s just where I am right now.

But a few times this week I’ve asked myself, Why am I doing this again?

I was chatting with a friend tonight and told her that I’m really tired of the blog…or, more accurately, the commitment I made to the blog. ( Geez, it sounds like a relationship!

:)) Not like I want to throw it out the window and never look at it again.

But three months ago, blogging every d

ay did not seem like a big deal.

Today, I can assure you that it is.

More often than not, blog posts are completed after Maelie goes to bed around 8 p.m. If I have an idea for a good post, it’s usually not an issue, but on some nights, it’s all I can do to force myself

to stay awake to pull some thoughts from somewhere that are worthy of sharing.

I don’t want it to become an obligation or, worse, take away my love of writing.

That. Would. Stink.

And completely defeat the purpose of the blog in the first place.

So I’m thinking of going down to six d ays

a week. Thinking about it… not doing it yet.

And the main reason I’m only thinking about it is because I don’t want to let myself down. I said I would do something…and I want to follow through.

But I also need to be realistic.

Thursdays are (now) officially dedicated to having a coffee date with you all. 😉 I really look forward to writing on Thursdays.

So I’m thinking about one day a week just sharing a verse or two that God gives me.

Or…maybe something else. Any ideas?

Thanks for reading. You bless me just by being here.

  1. Oh Mel…..you’re just so hard on yourself! Please knock it off *wink*

    You aren’t backing out of your commitment to God or Tobin or Mae. It’s just a blog. It’s okay. Back out to 5 times a week if you are so inclined to.

    Let’s just pretend that your commitment to write every day was your idea, not God’s. And now He’s trying to show you that isn’t what He wanted. Do you stick with your guns? Or God’s?

    Aha! A light bulb moment? Or atleast something to think about?

    My idea for you is the same for myself….and anyone else who would ask. Write what your heart tells you to write. If it’s not telling you anything. Don’t write.

    I know, from a very far distance and not even knowing you, that you have something to say. You have a story Mel. You have a history and a passion. Write about it. Don’t be afraid. Just do it.

    And last but most certainly not least…..pray about it. Ask the Father what He would want you to say. What He wants to say through you. And then…..do that!

    I hope you have a really great day!
