A few weeks ago I participated in a writing prompt challenge on instagram hosted by Hope*Writers
I am proud of myself for completing all 10 writing prompts and I thought it would be fun to share them here! So here is day 1...
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. ~Zig Ziglar

I spent an embarrassing amount of time brainstorming a caption for this first writing prompt.
Out of 3 pages of non cohesive ideas, the quote above is what I’m going on. (I really need to streamline my process or there is no way I can keep this up for 10 days!) I wanted this first post to be great, but I just don’t feel that it is. I considered not participating, but instead brought my struggle before God. He asked me: “do you want to do it?” And I said “yes.” So here I am. God gave me a desire not only to write, but to write about Him. It is said that a journey starts with a single step. As I embark on this mission to find my own voice through God’s voice, I can’t help but compare myself to Bilbo Baggins; a small person who is in way over their head! How great is it, though, that I have a God who has thoughts way higher than my thoughts. He has gone before me and already knows the road ahead. I hope he smiles on me, and perhaps occasionally giggles and shakes his head as I go about my journey, the way I did when I first read of Bilbo and his adventure. Here I start: not great, but with a heart that is full of hope and yearning to share words that are brave, honest and life giving!
