Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I’m so glad you’re here.  I have a confession to make:  I don’t have a post for your this week.

But do you know what?

It isn’t because I didn’t write one.

Nope.  I just moved right at 1800 words into my drafts folder because after scheduling the post, I just didn’t feel at peace about it.

I’m telling you this because there’s something I want you to know.

I want you to know that I value you and your time and the fact you visit this blog.  My desire is to encourage your heart and your faith as you follow Christ.

My ultimate goal, however, is to be obedient to him.

I never want to blog for blogging’s sake, but for his.

The post I wrote might be just fine, but I feel prompted to sit on it and pray about it.  I really appreciate your understanding and really look forward to reading all of your posts this week.

Please take a moment and share them below.

    Thank you, Charlie, for your integrity and for your purpose-driven approach to blogging.
    I’m saying a hearty amen to your resolve not to “blog for blogging’s sake” but to bring always to the table a message that has been approved by God!

      Thanks, Michele! I haven’t always looked at blogging quite like this and have certainly done my share of blogging for blogging’s sake, but these days, I am much more convicted about using any platform I have (no matter how small) to glorify the one who gave it to me!

      Thanks, Carlie! I don’t always follow as I should, but I try to be sensitive to his leading. I am so thankful he leads his people gently, like a shepherd.

    I understand and appreciate your decision. We blog for an audience of One, don’t we! I look forward to reading the post if and when God says you should publish it. Thanks for hosting and have a great week.

    Thank you for sharing that Charlie, as I had that same thing happen to me last month & sat on a post for 3 weeks, before with changes I felt God’s direction to post it.
    Your obedience will bring blessing!
