First blog post for Inspire Christian Writers

I'm excited and nervous! Today, Inspire Christian Writers posted my blog entry. The only other times I remember being this nervous was when I taught teachers' workshops ...I've done that twice, and there is something unnerving about teaching others in your profession about your profession.

I'm finding that God is pushing me out of my comfort zone a lot lately. I kind of like comfortable! But there's not much growth or forward motion in "comfortable." I want to move forward in my writing career, and most of all, I want to follow God into whatever He has for my life. But sometimes that tests our faith and stretches our abilities.

We have to adopt a "Nike" attitude when it comes to times like this...Just do it! Waiting, hesitating, over-thinking, or giving into the anxiety simply cripples us. We have to take a deep breath and jump in with both feet. So, that's what I'm trying to do.

I've put more books on Amazon. I'm building my website, and I'm putting more of my writing "out there." I'm also doing more speaking engagements. As God opens doors, I just want to be obedient and walk through the ones He's leading me to. How about you? Are your comfort zone boundaries being tested? I bet they are if you're in a relationship with God. It's one of His specialties! With God all things are possible. I don't think He would have reminded us of that in Scripture if we weren't going to be facing situations we felt were impossible.

I had a good time writing the post, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
