Writing blog posts was one of my forty goals. This is my 40th post since creating my 40 goals. The reason I chose this was that I wanted to practice writing more. This actually was a hard goal in my mind because many times I would open my Chromebook and start typing, and then erase it all. It was hard to know what to write about. I didn't know how to express myself in a way that felt good.
I debated over and over about dropping this goal. I didn't because this is one of the goals I had felt inspired to choose. I didn't totally love the goal, but it felt good to put it on the list, so I did. I fasted and prayed to know how to accomplish this goal. In the past two years, I had only gotten three blog posts done, and with only one year left, I knew that I needed Heavenly Father's help if I was going to accomplish this one.
As I was praying, I had a clear thought to write about memories. I also had the thought to write about my goals as I accomplished them. I also came to the conclusion that they could be short posts. They don't have to be long, drawn-out posts. I could do simple. That changed everything for me. Those simple thoughts from the spirit totally changed all of this around for me. Something that felt totally impossible to accomplish became doable and way more enjoyable. I hated doing it before I fasted and prayed, and now it's happy.
I'm so grateful for a God that hears my prayers and cares about small things like how to write blog posts. I know people could argue that I just came up with those ideas on my own, but I know what I felt and experienced. I know that I was guided and helped because I asked for it. I'm grateful to have help to accomplish good things in my life.
I will continue to blog. I've only accomplished 17 out of 40 goals. I've got more to do. I know God will help me with those, too. I'm excited to see what else is ahead of me and how things will become doable to me with God's help and my own desires and determination. I enjoy writing more than I thought I would. It doesn't feel so natural, but I'm learning to enjoy writing about life.
