Three years and over 100 blog posts, I thought I had written enough, said enough, encouraged enough, brought enough insight, and it was time to wrap my blog in a beautiful, pretty bow.
I didn’t believe that my weekly blogging had many legs left, and this was going to be my last post.
BUT GOD!
So as I was feeling that enough was enough, I was at peace but slightly sad at the prospect that my weekly musings had reached its designated audience.
And suddenly, I receive a text that literally shook me to my core…
“Girl, I just came across your postings on Soul of a Woman. WOW! They are so amazing! I honestly believe you have the gift of writing. There is a lovely flow in your writing- one which captives your readers with anticipation for your next blog. Great job!!! Don’t become discouraged-your blogs are very powerful! They serve as encouragement for women to analyze where they are in their life and make choices to improve themselves. Don’t second guess your ability to inspire women through your writing. You’re awesome!!!” –
From my sister, Rachel!
As you may have guessed it, I just started to cry. As the youngest of seven, reading a text from your big sister validating your thoughts and writing is the ultimate approval.
So, with the extra shot of encouragement, I will continue to write, share, inspire, and celebrate with my readers. It made me think who in my life did I need to give a word of motivation and validation.
Stop and think who in your circle needs a word of encouragement. It may make the difference between them giving up or moving forward.
Thank you, Ray. I will forever count this as my writing re-birth!
Lesson:
Just when you think you have done enough…
God sends a tender nudge to let you know to keep going!
