I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

I have been toying with the idea of pursuing a career in writing for quite some time now. Several years ago, at a time when I didn't really know what to do with my life, I asked God what He wanted me to do. The answer was so simple and almost instantaneous. He said "write." That was it, just "write." Not knowing what to do with an answer so simple or how to make a plan of action, I pursued a career in education instead. I like it okay, but it isn't fulfilling, and I really dislike the politics that are involved with public education. I am not cut out to handle the stress. Ever since that day several years ago, God has periodically whispered the word, "write" into the nooks and crannies of my brain. I think the absolute fear of failure and rejection that comes with the world of writing is what has been holding me back, but I think now is the time to face that fear...and with God's grace and mercy, I will overcome it...and I will write.
