It’s time

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a while. But there’s always been some reason why I shouldn’t – like my doubt that I have anything of value to add to the conversation. There are so many amazing folks already sharing their creative thoughts and unique perspectives about leadership and spiritual growth. When I look at those heavyweights, it gives me serious pause.

Then there’s the reality that I’m just an ordinary guy – someone who has never written a book and lacks credentials behind his name. Even if I had something to add of value, why would anybody listen?

And of course, there’s the possibility that I begin sharing my thoughts and ideas, only to run out of things to say within a month or so. How embarrassing would that be?

So given all those great reasons for not starting a blog, you might wonder why I’m doing it anyway. There is only one reason why – because I believe God has led me to do so. In light of that, it doesn’t really matter if I think I have anything of value to add. I will ask Him what I should write about and let Him worry about what value it does or does not have. I will revel in the reality of my ordinary life and share what an extraordinary God is doing in my life. It doesn’t matter if only a handful of people ever read this, because that isn’t the point. And I will continue to speak into the conversation about leadership and spiritual growth for as long as He directs me, and not a minute longer. If that is only a week, a month, a year, or longer, so be it. I will be obedient to His leading and let Him take care of the rest.

I pray that you might be blessed and that God will be delighted.
