God Sized Goals

The other day my friend asked what ‘God sized’ goal I had.

I was taken aback; I’d never heard that phrase before – what is a God sized goal? We began to think, and she had brought up Wonder in the Whispers. I felt a moment of guilt as I had realized how much I’d neglected it.

Over the year people close to me had asked when I would start writing again and I could never give an answer. I wasn’t sure why I had stopped writing. All I knew was that I had no urge to write. Maybe it was connected to the fact that I didn’t want to feel introspective, maybe it was because at the time I was letting go of close friendships and the wound was too fresh to write about, maybe I didn’t want to feel any emotions that I couldn’t explain. For whatever reason I stopped writing.

Writing is healing for me, it’s often whilst I’m writing that I:

1.        Validate my experience and emotions

It sounds crazy, why do I need to write about it to validate it? Why can’t I just acknowledge and validate my emotions and experiences as they come about. Interesting.

2.        Gain perspective

Whilst I write I’m able to look back and be proud of the person I’m becoming and honour the person that was.

3.        Stir up my passions

I’m genuinely so passionate about story-telling and writing truly is that outlet.

So, it’s clear that writing is healing, so why have I neglected to do so? I guess I’ll unpack that as I begin to write again.  It’s a vulnerable thing to do, which really goes against all my pride. But here I am again, picking up the pen, trusting that in this vulnerability, I’ll find the strength to pursue the God-sized goals set before me, knowing He’s with me every step of the way.
