Friday mornings are one of my favorite times of the week because I get to spend 2 1/2 hours hanging out with several incredible women as we dig deeper into life and try to listen well and love each other where we are. It’s good stuff, I tell ya.
After “group” as we call it (which makes it sound like therapy, which it kind of is except free and more fun) I often have an hour and a half to kill before getting my son and his friend from school. Today, I determined that I would spend that time writing.
Apart from my blog, I have been starting to work on writing a book. I’ve had this idea in the back of my mind for a long time, but it’s amazing how I can find ways to not work on it. I try to schedule times to write it, and suddenly I am incredibly motivated to clean my house to within an inch of its life, or I find many things on the internet which I must read, or I have to organize my closets or run errands. Yesterday, I had planned to write all day but God decided to send me to the emergency room instead. I’m calling that not my fault.
So my victory today is that I said I would write, and I did. It’s that simple. I ignored the voices that called me to do something else, and I just wrote. It wasn’t hours, and maybe I’ll erase everything I wrote the next time I look at it, but I wrote. Victory!
What are you calling victory today?
I love that you didn’t own what you couldn’t control–the emergency room. But I love even more that you followed through and did write–which I think you should do so much more of! You’ve got a gift, GB, and I see you as a source of encouragement for many. I’m at the top of that list, my friend!
And now I know the I importance of reading your posts in order! I’m happily reading along and then EMERGENCY ROOM?!?!!! I just saw you Tuesday! So glad it was nothing serious. Love your perspective and quick response to give God the glory. Keep up the writing!
Thanks for the kind words, friends. And thanks for reading!
