Confessions of a Blogger – 100 Posts…and counting
Can you believe it?
This is my 100th post
Sassy finger snap – BOOM!
100 Posts…and counting
I know
Complete. Total. Awesomeness!
And I’m sure you’re thinking that I’m a total merchine
Writing 100 original blog posts
That’s right, 100 ORIGINAL BLOG POSTS
No double dipping here folks
But, I gotta tell ya
This writing gig ain’t all singing n’ dancing
Okay, brace yourselves
I think it’s time for (drum roll please)
Confessions of a Blogger
CONFESSIONS OF A BLOGGER
As I’m the gal who runs the show
I’m gonna ‘fess up
I lurve Wednesday’s when we get to hang out together
And I help you, which helps me
While we help each other
It’s like a coffee date with a long-time friend
You’re having a skinny Latte, and as you sit there sipping it slowly
I race into the coffee shop
Order a double shot espresso followed by a large cake, ’cause I need the sugar
I’m totally freaking out – big time
Because I have zip, nowt, narder to share with you
Arrggghhh!
Thought I’d put up a picture of a dog – in sunglasses, wearing a denim jacket, while drinking his Starbucks
Hey! It broke the tension, right?
All that drama in the coffee shop was way too intense! Sheesh!
Anyway…
Confessions of a Blogger goes something like this;
It’s already 10pm on a Tuesday night
And I post Wednesday mornings – every single week (write that date in your diary, folks)
My fingernails are bitten down to the quick
I’ve eaten my way through an entire, large packet of jelly snakes
And I’ve drank more tea than the door mouse at the Mad Hatter’s tea party
Then I sit
Staring
Staring
Staring
At the blank page on my laptop
100 POSTS…AND COUNTING
And while I’m fiddling around in the dark
Stabbing at any words that run across my mind
Hoping some thunder bolt hits my brain
And I’m writing at a pace Virginia Woolf would be proud of
God shows up
And while I’m flapping my arms about like, Peter, in Matthew 14:22-23
‘looking at the wind and the waves…’
Comparing myself to all the, ‘I’ve-got-it-totally-together-bloggers’ out there
God reminds me that I have to decrease, so He can increase (John 3:30)
He tells me to keep moving forward
With purpose and confidence
Because it’s not about me
It’s about Him and what He wants to say
And then the words and ideas come
As I dig deeper into His Word
Common sense hits me like a truck, and I realise
That all the clamouring and pretentious nonsense
Is the world’s way and not God’s way
And I need to trust Him more
We’re 100 posts into this gig
And there’s no quitting now, right?
Because you’re my tribe
And it’s no coincidence that you found me
God put us together
I hate to tell you this, my friend
But you’re up to your neck in it
Because people like you, who have discovered their true identity
Through reading my blog posts
People like you, who have learnt how to roar like a tiger
Through reading my blog posts
And people like you, who have scaled the mountain
And learnt how to rise
Through reading my blog posts
THOSE PEOPLE DON’T QUIT
