I'm really giving it 5 minutes this time, because this is just jumping in. Like writing. And I don't know what calls you away from it, what tempts you to turn away. Maybe it's the kids. Maybe it's because you have no children. Maybe it's nagging fear or ever loud doubt. Maybe it's more, maybe it's less.
But I'm so glad you're here. Each one of you. For how many times conversations with my husband and with my friends start with "So I read this from a blog".
And it was you spoke to me. Used by the Father for laughs, tears, and me-too moments.
And what if you didn't. What if I still felt alone over {fill in the blank}. What if I wasn't encouraged {on this day}. What if I didn't think it mattered, this writing business.
You make it matter. You in this great community of voices. Write on sister.
This is a Five Minute Friday post. Write with us in 2014, seriously do it!

Is that your writing space? Love! I am thankful you write my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is my old space when we were in Arkansas...oh how I miss this set up. Now I write mostly from the couch ha! But I have plans to set up a new lil' writing area soon:)
DeleteThat is totally me..I'll be talking to someone about a recipe or an interesting fact and I'm all, "Well I read this fancy article that said blah blah blah." But in reality I read it on a blog by someone just like me......
ReplyDeleteSo glad you can relate Beth Ann! Yes, we have things to say that matter, all of us.
