I\u2019ve been saying for years that I think I\u2019m supposed to write. And I\u2019ve thought about writing so many times, yet each time it feels impossible to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or maybe I do start, but then it feels too hard or even ridiculous to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many things holding me back: time constraints, lack of focus, lack of drive, putting other things first, questioning if I can do it, doubting that anyone will care while simultaneously worrying about what they\u2019ll think of me if I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The intention is there, but the follow-through is not. There is always something standing in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I have the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I finish these other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I have things more organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I have a better routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I feel like less of a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I feel inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll start once I\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But only one really matters: I\u2019ll start once I am called.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the truth is it isn\u2019t about me; it\u2019s about Him. I don\u2019t need to feel like things are right before<\/em> I start, I need to trust Him to make things right once<\/em> I start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So here\u2019s to trusting you, God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll start Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.\u201d<\/p>Jeremiah 17:7-8 (ESV)<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve been saying for years that I think I\u2019m supposed to write.
