Keeping Up the Fight

When I first started this month long writing challenge, I wasn't sure I would have enough to write about. And in that first week I wasn't so sure I would be able to follow through with writing everyday. But somehow I did it. There were lots of late nights and early mornings, lots of wondering if it all even matters and lots of getting caught up.

But this month has taught me quite a lot about myself and about grace. It has helped me see myself as a writer and helped me know what I need to do in order to write.

I quickly learned, that with the topic of grace, and learning to accept grace, there are endless words and stories. I'm naturally very observant and aware, but I have to chose to see the grace in everything. And when I open my eyes to see grace, the mundane begins to look a bit more miraculous. 

I also learned although I definitely need to write everyday, I definitely don't need to blog everyday. There are amazing people like Ann Voskamp and Seth Godin who can get away with posting amazing words everyday. But in this season, I just need to keep writing. But I now know I can be way more consistent in publishing on the blog, even though I don't need to do it everyday. 

I'm proud of myself for getting through October. October was hard and exhausting and draining. But I'm mighty excited that November is here. Now I get to take what I learned about myself and my writing habits and pour myself into my book. Now I get to take what I learned about grace and keep fighting for it. Because it wasn't just a fight for a month, this fight for grace is a fight for a lifetime. And it's a fight that is so worth it.
