A couple days ago, I was bemoaning the fact that I didn’t have any new stories ready yet to share on the blog. Which means another week of no new content. It made me worry that all my followers would unsubscribe, my Facebook likes would trail off, and then I fell down the rabbit hole of self doubt, fear of failure, and of course, rejection.
Every time this happens I begin to question my calling to this blog’s mission. And literally, EVERY TIME God shows up in some different way. A new email out of the blue, an encouraging comment from a stranger in the blogosphere, or, in this case, a new crazy, viral share of one my most popular stories.
He reminds me that this is not my project. It’s HIS.
I am not the one keeping this blog a’float. HE IS.
This is not for my glory. It’s for HIS.
I love this blog, and I am passionate about my calling. I love how God steps in and makes a difference when I am starting to doubt my purpose. But, at the end of the day, it’s not about me. His little drops of miracles are not just for my benefit. It’s BIGGER than that. This blog was created to encourage and comfort all women on their crazy journey of motherhood, however it looks for them. So it’s okay that I don’t have a new story or guest post this week, because I know big things are in the works here, and bigger things are coming! And God is not finished with M2M yet!
Sometimes I save my favorite blogs to read in batches. I am glad I got to read this one today. I had big plans and plenty of motivation to build my business this winter – and now it’s practically spring. I’ve had only rare opportunities to sew. I’m grateful that I’ve had many more opportunities to connect with people, but I appreciate the reminder that the whole thing is His.
I was going through my list of blogs to check out and I’m so glad you were one for today! Although my blog is so very small and with only a hand full of subscribers, I believe it will grow, encourage/help another mother along her way, and help add a little extra for my boys to play all the sports they want! I have 5 !! I went strong last week, posted what I thought was great helpful content Monday through Friday! I told myself I would do my best to stick to this so I can build my content. Today, I didn’t have a post ready.. Life got the best of me, and I felt like a failure. Like, I let myself down and I sabbatoged my success. But, then I read your post.. And I feel better about things. Thank you.
