Manchild, Where Are You?
Thanks to all of you who have recently sent emails and private messages to check on me. Rest assured, all is well. “Quality is more important to me than quantity.” So, where am I and what am I doing? I’m busy birthing my big dream. But that’s not all.
I’ve also been busy reading “your” blog posts. I’ve been digging through “your” archives in hopes of strengthening our emerging relationship. As always, I’m extremely impressed by what many of you have to say. I’ve learned so much from what you’ve written, from the comments received, from the hindsight of your insight.
“Seek first to understand before seeking first to be understood” is a paraphrase of one of the 7 habits of “highly effective people” as outlined in the book, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey. How many of you have read any of his books?
How do you read another blogger’s blog? Do you ever take time to peruse the archives? This blog was birthed January 1, 2007 when I had no idea what I was doing. But I kept risin’ after every public fall. Doing so was truly an act of faith for a person like me who struggles to overcome my “perfectionistic” tendencies. The benefits and rewards of blogging and meeting all of you have been such a blessing to me.
As you know, this site is not “monetized.” My income will come from the big dream that’s being birthed as you read this post. Over the past few months, I shared snippets from Steppin’ Out Of The Darkness. The unforeseen setbacks, the revisions, the changes, and the obstacles have been numerous. As you know, “failure always follows the path of least persistence.”
What do you do when your big dream doesn’t cooperate, when life happens, when Adversity strikes? The weapons formed but did not prosper. But by the grace of God, Steppin’ Out Of The Darkness is finally finished. I will announce the “scheduled release” of the first in a series of books soon. As my grandmothers often said, “Thank you Jesus!!”
Delayed, But Not Denied.
