I read a devotion by Shauna Niequist today. In it, she referred to how the word ‘someday’ can be seductive…
We can tell ourselves that someday we will get in shape, someday we will spend quality time with the kids, someday we will seek out our dream job, someday we will do ‘XYZ’.
Unfortunately, all too often, our ‘someday’ turns into never.
I didn’t want to write this post today. I wrote one yesterday and thought to myself, ‘eh, that’s good enough for now.’ When I read Shauna’s words, I knew I needed to put pen to paper (or words on a screen).
See, I’ve been wanting to do this writer thing for a while. And yes, I can technically call myself a writer because, well, I write…but I want to step up my game.
Here are all of the things I have ‘in the works’ right now that should be helping me up my game:
- I am enrolled in an online writing class, with an author/teacher who is an incredible writer.
- I am involved in several Facebook groups for writers.
- I have multiple writing books on my bookshelves.
- I have the encouragement of my kiddos and those closest to me.
While this is not an exhaustive list — it holds the most important list items.
And yet, I still struggle to make this appointment with my laptop to write and bleed words…
What about you? What are you putting off for ‘someday’? How can I encourage you to keep your appointment with whatever your goal is? Let’s do this today…and let’s do it together.
