I’ve been wanting to come back to blogging for a little bit, but I’ve had so much going on in my life aka wedding planning, wedding, and everything after. Getting adjusted to being a wife has been beautiful, and it’s also been busy. We both feel like we haven’t stopped since the wedding – going out of town, hanging out with friends on the weekend, volunteering at church – all good things, but this week, we decided it was time to really slow down.

Admittedly, I’ve felt nervous about writing again. I have ideas, but maybe because it’s been so long, I’m feeling intimidated. Like, maybe I’d lost my touch for it, or maybe I never had the touch to begin with (I know, lies.)

But even just writing two days in a row has had me excited to be back. I’ve also been reading some inspiring writing, from Rex Ogle’s When We Ride to my friend Debbie’s fanfiction (I’ll also talk more about that topic soon). All of that writing is inspiring me; I even wrote a poem this morning, and it was the first one I’d written in a few months.

I’m excited and eager to continue this journey. I want it to feel like when I blogged every day for months right after college, but I know I can’t compare my then to now. I’ll do my best, and have fun with the process!

What’s something you’ve been nervous to begin or pick back up, but haven’t due to your fears? What would it take for you to do it?
