Daily writing prompt

Why do you blog?

View all responses

While I know that I answered this prompt question last year, quite honestly, I have no memory of what my answer was. But I can assure you, it won’t be the same answer I give today.

Why?

Because I am so very different now, from who I thought I was, only a year ago!

No, I’m not a different person… but as I grow deeper in my relationship and walk with God, all my thoughts, perspectives, and purposes are in a constant state of flux.

Why?

Because God is the Master Potter… and I am that which he softens, shapes, and molds into who I am forever becoming… the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus…

That’s Why!

This woman shall now and forever, seek only to bring honor and glory to His name!

Honestly, if you look at my writings from this time last year, they are far different from the way I write currently, as well as what I write about.

At first, blogging was self-therapy! I was just coming off of an eight year writer’s block… that’s 8 brutally long years, my friends… it was awful not to put word to pen, if you will.

Once the writing returned, and I started blogging, there were so many things that I thought I wanted my site to be…

but now?

If you’re wondering why my response is such a lengthy one for such a small prompt question, it’s because I don’t have an actual answer to throw in here, right off the bat!

I suppose if I were pressed to give an on the spot answer, I would hope that this blog would be meant to give love, acceptance and encouragement, rather than seek to receive those things, only for myself.

Maybe, that’s why I always hand out cookies, or tell silly stories and jokes… who knows?

In truth, all of you would be far better judges of what my blog seems to offer, than what I might think up…

Just sayin!

Daily writing prompt

Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.

There has been far too little notice for me to successfully complete this prompt!

They want me to interview someone on a Friday morning? Ok, WordPress… you got me!

I feel so unprepared for this interview, as I’m still in my pajamas and only a third way through my first cup of coffee… not to mention the fact that I haven’t even had my morning trail walk… sheesh!

Well, here goes,

…ummm, we may have a problem finding a suitable candidate for this set-up.

You see, at the moment, it’s only seven in the morning so my options are limited. Let me explain,

With my solitary lifestyle (not by choice), I don’t have a list of selectable folks. My hubby is sleeping so he’s a no-go, and my sweet friend is already at her job. I’ve no mother, no brother, no sister or mailman. My children are absent, no more pets even live in our RV.

The mail hasn’t run, yet, so my local letter carrier is off the hook!

The only other interviewee’s available around here, are either the cheeky squirrel who boldly demands peanuts each day, or the ants who think all my food can be carried away!

While I refuse to exchange any further words with the pushy insects, and my peanut eating squirrel hasn’t arrived yet, I’m opting for the river. Maybe I’ll run into one of the Raven brothers, or wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could run into Bill or Netty Pottsworth. I know that I could get an earful from Netty… she’s always good for gossip, at least.

Well, I’m off… wish me luck!

Oh, and here…

Maybe the cookies have our answers…
