I am Not a Writer… or am I?

During my time away, one thing that became painfully obvious to me is that I am not a writer… not a good “technical” writer that is. In fact, I am sure that I drive most of you English majors absolutely crazy. I cannot remember when to use a semi-colon, or if it’s ever appropriate to use the words “and”, “but”, “yet”, or “for” at the beginning of a sentence, & my vocabulary is quite minimal {{Thank-you for being gracious with me!}} :)

I would love for the words to always flow sweetly from my head, through my fingers, & unto the paper/screen/etc. But the truth is that sometimes they are dreadfully choppy.

Honestly, who am I to think that the words I write would encourage anyone? or that they would bring glory to the King of kings as I so desire?

He doesn’t need my words.

But, I also realized something else… I LOVE to write, & I love to share what’s in my heart with you. And, for now, I think this is something that God wants me to do. Not because I always use the best wording, correct punctuation, or impeccable grammar. And not because I am the best mom, wife, home-maker, friend, & “blogger” who has it all together {I’m not & I don’t}! But, because it is in the process of writing it out & sharing it with you, that I see more clearly what God has & is doing in our lives.

 
It’s kind of like my sweet Annabella. She loves to dance! She watches her sisters & asks all the time to dress up like a “rina”! When she dances, she is not a ballerina… she jumps & twirls & sticks her little bottom out- I love it!!!! Yet although she has no technical skills- her dance is beautiful!

And, oh, how I pray that God would write beautifully through me! That the words bubbling up inside of me would spill out in encouragement to you- fellow moms, friends & family who are in the trenches with me, & that they would overflow in praise & glory to our God!

Above all, I pray that when you come here- you will notice that although I am an unschooled & ordinary {everyday} mom, you will take note that I have been with Jesus! (Acts 4:13)That’s all that matters- Him pouring His words out through me! If I haven’t been with Him, my words will ALWAYS fall short!

For although I may not be a “writer”- I want to write my best for HIM! :)

{{Our ballerinas after their last ballet recital!}}

God has been renewing my vision for “Our Family for His Glory”! I can’t tell you the amount of times these last couple months that I have formulated posts & dreams in my mind. {I promise I’m not crazy- wink!} I’m excited for some changes that we will {{s.l.o.w.l.y.- remember I’m a Mommy to 6}} be making over the next months!

Would you join me? Whether it be writing, mothering, taking care of a loved one, or countless other things. It does not matter if you are unschooled, untrained, uneducated, & simply ordinary. What matters is that others would take note that we have been with Jesus!
