I missed a day.

I had a migraine so obviously I have a really good excuse. In the past, because it is just me and my goals, I would maybe miss a day and it would take days, weeks, or even months to get back on board. Life is like a moving train and if you fall off one of the carts, you have to move even faster to get back in it but because of its racing speed, it can be a long time for that to happen.

I remembered this morning that I didn’t post last night and I was happy to find that I felt totally ok with that. I am not one to beat myself up about things, it’s part of my easy going attitude, but I would get bummed that I didn’t stick to something. This time though, I was happy that I went 21 solid days of writing.

Yesterday though I did think about some wasted opportunity that is happening. Many of the days I am getting words on “paper” to just get the job done. I am marking a goal off the list. But, My end goal is not to be a goal demolisher. I want to write words that changed lives. I want to be an arrow that points people to hope for a better marriage, forgiveness from past hurts, freedom from debilitating shame. I want people to read words that I have written and then want to know more about a relationship with Jesus. So here is day 22 of a 30 day challenge. I am encouraged to make more of an effort to write words that have value and write words the mean something. I don’t want to end this monthly challenge having encouraged no one.
