I’ve been wanting to write a blog for awhile but just hadn’t taken the initiative to start one. Why? Was it fear of going outside my comfort zone? Fear of no one reading it? Fear of writing? Fear of people disagreeing?
Sunday night I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep. As I laid awake I thought of Sunday’s sermon, “What Now?” by Pastor Jim. The central word in the sermon was “Faith.” Faith is believing when we don’t see. It’s obeying God even when we don’t understand. It’s active. It’s dynamic. It’s energetic. I felt a nudge by God that it was time to step out of my comfort zone and start a blog. Topics started rushing through my head. I even got up to write them down so I wouldn’t forget them in the morning.
What would I call my blog? It didn’t take long for me to come up with “Musings of a Senior.” Since I’m approaching “Medicare” I qualify as a senior. And as a senior I have a lot of things to muse upon. Muse: to become absorbed in thought. That’s what happened to me Sunday in the middle of the night. I was absorbed in thoughts, lots of thoughts.
Muse: to think or say (something) in a thoughtful way. Should I write about controversial topics? mundane every day activities? my faith? my life? Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes. I will step out in faith and let God guide me on what topics to write.
Even if only one person reads what I’ve written, it’s worth it.
