Follow Through

I'm learning that consistency is necessary to our lives...how can we expect to be successful if we have a lack of consistency?

Nothing comes overnight...it happens over time. How can you expect to get good graces when you don't consistently study? (yes, I'm preaching to myself on this one!)

As you can tell, writing is my first true love! whether it's writing poetry, blogs, in my journal, short stories, whatever...writing is what I do! I love words! Give me a good book and it gives me life! My pastor is SO gifted at putting things in the right manner and making complicated things sound so simple all because of his WORDS...so yes I love praise and worship and good music with powerful lyrics but give me good MEANINGFUL sermons any day!

Anyway...so like I said, writing is what I do...and people who know me know that I should have put out a book a LONG time ago...but what stopped me? Two things...fear and lack of consistency/effort.

I wanted to turn out a best selling book writing only every now and then. I gave up numerous times,saying that I wasn't cut out for this.

Right now, I'm in the midst of writing and this time I have a tag team partner who's also writing as well...we're pushing each other to be consistent!

This will be a short entry because I just wanted to get this out and to encourage someone else...have you given up on a dream of yours? And I mean the dreams you're afraid to admit to everyone else...not the "practical" plans that you've told the world that you were doing.

Don't give up! Dont let those dreams be those things you carry with you to the grave. You have TOO much to offer the world, you know what God has gifted you with! I'm encouraging everyone to follow through...you will find that those times you feel as if you cannot, God can and will. Learn to follow through...because when you cannot see how it's going to end, God often shows up in these periods of uncertainty and pulls off the impossible.
