I haven't been here for a while

It's been a long time since I have had a moment to write. Years to be exact. Years since I have been on this blog. Years since I have sat in the quiet of my room with a cup of coffee and a keyboard.  But here I am today. Remembering my password and the how tos of blog writing. Why? Why come back to it now? Why spend these precious moments alone on this?  Because I have this dream. A God given dream, to write. To encourage someone else on their journey. To put a smile on their face even if its temporary. To make them feel like they are not alone. I've felt it in my soul. The joy of writing. The joy of doing what God has called me to do. Who He has called me to be. So why haven't I been doing that? Because life gets in the way. I let life get in the way. And that hasn't been a bad thing, don't get me wrong. My life has other callings in it too. God has called me to be a mother, a wife, a daughter, a farm girl, a caregiver, a bible study leader, a Sunday school teacher. These are all great pursuits too. And those have taken priority over writing. But no longer. Today I will get back to this dream that God put in me long ago. Long ago, like when I was in 5th grade and my story was published in the school newsletter. Way back then, God was starting something inside me. He was planting a seed. And today I choose to water that seed. To create with words a vision of the dream. To take one tiny step on my journey of writing. Putting words to page. What dream has God put in you? Is it one that you are chasing after or is it sitting dormant in you heart waiting to be unveiled to the world?
