I have to start somewhere.....sometime.

Today I was scrolling twitter when I came across this quote:

"A year from now, you may wish you had started today.” - Karen Lamb

I kept scrolling along and then I went back....the reason is because I realized that this quote has an immediate application to me. I have been trying to start this blog. I have been trying to start this blog for quite awhile now.

Excuses
I have amazed myself at all of the excuses I have used to keep myself from writing.
I have told myself that I am a poor writer (this blog may prove my point).
I have told myself I have nothing to say.
I have questioned if there is anything new or fresh that I could possible add to all the amazing content that is "out there."
I have reminded myself of how poorly I apply proper rules of grammar.
I told myself no one will read my stuff.
I told myself that writing so slow.
I told myself that I am not smart enough, creative enough, or insightful enough.

Today
In full view of my fears, reservations and concerns, I am convinced that "a year from now I will wish I would have started today." Thanks Karen Lamb!

So here it is. My first official post. From this point on I will write about faith, life and leadership.....and whatever else I decide to write on. It is my hope that I will grow as a writer, thinker, person and Christian. It is my hope that someone may read my reflections and be helped, challenged and encouraged.

so today it begins.....
