How This Blog Got It’s Groove Back – {And Why You Should Come Read It}

Lost. Twisted. Ugly.

At the beginning of this year, I’d kind of lost my groove. I had started Intentional.Me with a specific plan and a purpose, but I wasn’t sticking to it. My motives were getting twisted, my heart was being eaten up with comparisons, and I was sadly trying to measure up and be ‘good enough’ rather than do what I knew I was meant to do here.

What did you do?

Went it came time for Lent, I started thinking about what I could add to my life that would bring me closer to God.  I also wondered if there was something I needed to give up that was pulling me away from Him.  After a few days of reflection and prayer,  I could very clearly feel God whispering to my heart: “Your blog. It’s out of control. Let go of your blog.  Focus back on Me.”   I listened.  Okay, I didn’t listen that quickly.  I questioned, resisted.  Then I listened.  Eventually.

Obedience

I gave up posting entirely for Lent.  Literally the second I let go of it, there was profound relief.  Followed quickly by the realization of just how far I’d let it twist my heart in the wrong direction.  I am so thankful to have stepped back and been obedient.

The results:

During the time away, I was able to re-focus on what my intentions have always been here.  Now, there is a more well-defined focus, a more intentional goal for my writing. Also, thanks to the Jeff Goins Intentional Blogging course, there is a clear mission and objective for Intentional.Me, plus a handy-dandy new tagline to go with it all.  Woot!

My promise { Why you should come read this blog}

Intentional Me has always been about Intentional Living.  It’s just now I’ve got my groove back.  My promise to you is this: I will be here writing, encouraging, and challenging you on a regular basis.  No more letting all those  great ideas rot in a notebook somewhere.
