...that is the question at hand. When I first started to blog, it was just for me, no one knew for awhile, till Autumn caught me. Slowly, I told a few family members. It became a way of sharing my heart with them on my journey of grief, as writing has always been easier for me to express myself, than verbalizing what was going on in my head. Then, after a time a few kind strangers found their way here, and expressed how what they read was an encouragement to them. I was humbled and honored that it did.
But recently I have noticed a changed, not sure what exactly, but something is different. I don't know if what started out to be just a way to pen my thoughts for myself is no longer necessary, if the heart is still there, not just mine, but the essence of it.
Have I focused more on writing for others, thus losing the initial intent, and what small 'readership' I had, or is there no longer a need to publicly write? I don't know.
Please understand, I don't write this to encourage response back from the few who still read this. Perhaps, this is more rhetorical in nature, to help me know what to do.
Is the heart gone? Is the need gone? We shall see.
Do what you feel led by God to do. I know you have inspired me and I feel awed by your strength and insight, which I would never have if I lost my hubby. But stay with your original intention. Write from your heart for your heart. That is what has fed us. Jesus must have felt this way, too.
