The Thing YOU Love

What is it that YOU love to do? You don’t HAVE to! You don’t NEED to! It’s simply something YOU enjoy doing!

Some people may laugh when you tell them or roll their eyes, but who cares? It's how you're wired! It's what makes you tick! When you do it, you get all excited. You want to save the world or organize your closet when you spend 30 minutes doing this one thing YOU love.

Tonight I was helping one of my children write a persuasive paper. The topic was, “Should athletes go pro right out of high school?” Honestly, the subject mattered not to me…but as we put his thoughts on paper, shifted words, and transformed elementary sentences into college prep work my insides began to tingle. I wrestled with similes and metaphors and tried to create an allusion or 2. As we worked to produce what to me was as great as Beethoven’s 5^th or the Sistine Chapel, I realized a simple truth…

God created me to write, and I LOVE IT! People don’t understand it and often roll their eyes or squawk at the idea, but that too matters not to me! This is how I’m wired and that’s why I’m up at 11:22 writing this unassuming little blog.

So let me encourage you…

Writing may not be your thing, but I encourage you this week to DO THE THING YOU LOVE! Take time for yourself and be inspired as you do what you are created to LOVE! 

 ...everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.
