Why Do I Do What I Do

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on why you do what you do?  I mean really thought about it.  We often get caught up in the routines and craziness of life, moving from one task to the next without a second thought.

But when we step back and ask ourselves, “What’s driving me?” we can find a deeper sense of purpose that guides us through even the most challenging times.

For me, writing isn’t just a hobby or a way to make a living—though earning some money from it would be pretty cool, I’m not going to lie.  But that’s not the core reason I write.

I write to express myself, to share my feelings, my experiences, and my journey through this crazy, beautiful life. 

It’s my way of making sense of the world and inviting others to join me in the process.  At the heart of my writing is something much bigger than myself—it’s the desire to lift up the name of Jesus. 

I’ve tried it on my own and failed.  He’s my one true hope, the rock that keeps me grounded when everything else feels like it’s falling apart. 

I know not everyone believes in the same things I do, but I hope my words can offer a glimpse of the peace and strength that I find in my faith.

Every time I sit down to write, I think about that one person.  You know, the one who might be having a rough day, feeling lost, or just needing a bit of encouragement. 

If I can make a difference for just one person, if I can bring a little light into their day, then I know I’m doing something worthwhile.

So, why do I do what I do?  Because words have power.  They can heal, inspire, and connect us in ways nothing else can.

Because life is too short not to share our stories, our truths, and our hope. 

Because there’s someone out there who needs to hear what I have to say, and I don’t want to miss that chance.  Not because I’m wise,but because God can use everything we do for good if we let him.

If you’re reading this, I want you to know that you matter.  Your story matters.  Whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone.

Keep searching for what drives you, what gives you purpose, and don’t be afraid to share it with the world.  You never know who might be inspired by your journey. 

Be Blessed!
