Why am i afraid of the blog?
What is a blog? It rhymes with frog... but that's not right. The definition of the noun blog is: A regularly updated website or webpage, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
OH NO! You mean I have to write my thoughts down where everyone can see them and judge them, like in a stolen diary? What if they laugh at me? What if I am embarrassed again? The definition of the noun diary is: A book in which one keeps a daily record of events and experiences.
What am I afraid of? I'm not that bullied 15 year old girl from 50+ years ago who's diary was stolen. Whose intermost thoughts and dreams were ridiculed and exposed to the whole school. Whose precious relationships and memories were destroyed by someone who only felt power, by destroying others.
I am no longer a frightened 15 year old in High School. My worth no longer depends on what others think of me. I know who I am, and I know whose I am. I am the daughter of the King. I hold my head high. I have a voice and I have Wisdom to share.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of feat; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.". 2 Timothy 1:7.
I was brought here to WA for a purpose. I am among friends, no... family. We are all here to uphold and strengthen one another.
I don't have to fear THE BLOG.
I can remember THE FROG...
FULLY RELY ON GOD!
And cherish THE BLOG...
BUILDING LEADERS OF GREATNESS!
"Beloved, I wish above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2.
Have a blessed day!

I love your post! I am still learning all of this but I am looking forward to getting better at it. I am not going to share what I don't want to share. :)
Hello Petra. Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully, we will learn together. It was just the fear of putting the words "on paper" due to a bad experience over 50 years ago. It was just what I needed to do to get beyond that experience. I really feel like I accomplished something huge, and I feel great! It should be easier now. And I don't think you have to share anything you don't feel comfortable with. I am following you now. I pray success for your endeavors. Have a blessed day

Hello Christine. Thank you for the the wonderful encouragement. I DID do this! MY FIRST BLOG! I did it, and my world, as I know it, did not end. It's bound to get easier now that I have overcome that 50+ year fear. I CAN do this! We CAN do this! I am following you now. Thank you again. I pray success for your endeavors. Have a blessed day.
Yep, one down! It does get easier. I try to post daily, just to keep in the habit and close to the fire. You're in good company though. The 50+ club is strong. We'll get this!!!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Christine. You're right. It does get easier. I just accidentally wrote my second one. And I'm actually 67...lol. Never to old to learn. I look forward to reading your many Blogs. I pray success for all of your endeavors. Have a very blessed day.
Hello Miss Cherly this is a brilliant post. You have nailed what many people go through and the solution!!! Overcoming fear in order to express greatness. Thanks!
Hello Rainfalls. Beautiful name. It brings a smile to my face. My grandmother use to spell my name that way. She always put the "L" before the "Y", another smile. Thank you for the uplifting words. I spent over a week soul searching and prayer to find the reason why I had so much fear of putting my words "out there". Amazing how something from my past held so much power over my future. But, you are right. I have overcome that fear, and there is no limit to my future. I am following you now. I pray success for your endeavors. Have a blessed day.
Thank you Johnson, for the lovely compliment. I am following you now. I pray success for your endeavors
Have a blessed day.
