Slow to Speak...

It's been 10 days since that last entry... Not that that matters much. I guess I'd just rather be writing more on here than that.

Couple things:

1. I've heard people actually read this from time to time.

2. I'm apparently really quiet this summer. And I think I know a bit about why.

1. About 15-20 people (all pretty unrelated) told me in the last couple weeks that they read this thing... That initially scared the crap out of me. I immediately thought of every open post I'd ever written (which is just about every one). But about a couple minutes after that, I was given a deep peace. I've only written what has been heavy on my heart. And despite my people-pleaser way of living (which is toxic unless you're using it as a pastoral gifting or something), I have no reservations, nothing to be 'embarrassed' of. 

I joked with just about everyone who told me they read this, saying, "yeah, I probably look like an emotional wreck on that thing... I think I only write when I'm feeling overly-emotional."

But here's the truth (that I had to share with everyone I talked to): It's not me being emotional at all. It's (hopefully) just Holy Spirit saying, 'get this out. I didn't put it here to sit and be wasted. Don't you know by now that this is how I work? I urge you and disrupt your day and talk to you and open your eyes so you will share it with people.'

2. To be posted above this in another entry.
