You all know I’ve been struggling to keep writing because it’s so hard for me….but I came across this blog and when I saw the title…I was like…”hey that’s me!” I love the poem and the blogs authors heart. Hope you all enjoy this blog too.
I planned on giving up on this whole blogging thing last week.
And the week before that.
And probably every week before that one as well.
See when I started blogging I didn’t realize something very important: it isn’t for the faint of heart.
Many exceptional bloggers have one piece of advice they always like to give to new bloggers and it’s this: never check your stats.
And I think this is a good rule to live by not only in blogging world but in life.
Because when I check my stats either two things happen, one, if they’re high I feel like I’m the best writer in the world and God is using me in high and mighty ways to make a difference in someone’s world… but if they’re low then I deem myself worthless to post one more single word that comes…

Thanks for sharing this, Tanya. I so identify with what Anna wrote about looking at the stats, although I don’t think mine have ever been very high (maybe because God knows that I might get prideful about it). I love her idea of how we are planting seeds! Although I write a lot in my journal, I struggle with having time to turn the writing into posts to publish. Would you pray for me to do better at publishing more regularly? Do keep on blogging–you are such a blessing!
Love you, my sister in Christ.
Tricia

Dear Folks, I am not a blogger. I read your articles when they come to my email. I am inspired by all of them. You minister to me. I’m old and don’t know all about new technology but I enjoy your writings and they help me in my spiritual life. Blessings, Nelda

I’ve felt like this, too, Tanya — for me, it’s a “time thing.” There are only 24 hours in a day, and I don’t believe in doing stuff halfway! So if I’m reading blogs and commenting (and writing my own and replying), then I’m ignoring my business and my novel. Sigh. I guess the social media monster has a way of demanding more and more from a person — causing that person to back off for a hiatus now and then. But you know, if something you’ve said really touches another person, perhaps it’s God’s leading that keeps us doing this blogging thing!!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one struggling to blog. I think taking a hiatus now and then is OK and we shouldn’t feel guilty about it. 24 hours seems like a lot of time…but for some reason…it’s not.
