Its been awhile since I posted a blog. Mostly because I am too picky about topics and what I should write about. I feel strongly that I have to offer something in what I write. Hopefully you can take something away from reading my posts. Today I have been beating myself up for not posting more blogs. I think I figured out that I have to be in the mood. What gets you in the mood. For me it is music. Last week I read a post on the blog titled Finding Faith. As I read the incredible testimony of God’s grace and forgiveness I was listening to my iTunes library and the song “Grace like Rain” by Todd Agnew was playing. What a great background track for the blog I was reading. The combination of the two really blessed me. However, we are now a week later I am just now getting around to posting a new blog. I need to get past the self perceived legitimacy of my posts and just blog my mood and feelings. I guess in the back of my mind I didn’t want to post unless I felt it would impact someone and they would tell someone and they would tell…you get the idea…and soon I would have a huge following reading my blog. If you blog just to attract a crowd you will not have a good blog that conveys you and your feelings…exactly the things that make your blog readable and enjoyable in the first place.
So fellow bloggers, lets make a pact: repeat after me, “Before or during blogging we will crank up the iTunes, eat our favorite ice cream, pop bubble wrap, or whatever activity puts us in the mood to write from the heart and share our thoughts regardless of how many people will read it.” We may be surprised at how many readers find our blogs entertaining and helpful.
