NeedForReed

One step at a time…

// April 13th, 2009 // Ramblings

Sitting down to write for me is a difficult process.  In the time it took to write that first sentence I thought about the placement of the words, and if saying “For me, sitting down to write is a difficult process” would be more poignant and fitted in conveying what I am trying to say.  I’m trying to learn just to write.  I’ve found that the more often I partake in the act of writ, the easier it becomes.  I constantly re-read, tweak, and try to perfect.  It’s a struggle that is detrimental to the off the cusp feel I hope to achieve one day, but I’m getting there…

I tend to buy books on subjects and read about them, rather than actually doing.  One I purchased focused on blogging, while another book focused on embracing and utilizing Twitter.  They were interesting reads, and I do feel like I’ve gained something from reading them, but at the end of the day I question what exactly I was trying to gain from them.  Very small scale, but look before I leap perhaps?

I am currently about to take one of the largest leaps I’ve ever emleaped* on.  I’ve been afforded the opportunity of a life time, to travel the land and be paid to do it.  This opportunity does not come without responsibility however.  I will be tasked with overseeing the day in and day out of three very talented individuals, together known as Barcelona.  I can not begin to express how lucky and humbled I feel to have been given this opportunity.  The coming weeks will be challenging, but I feel prepared to embark on this journey. Though I feel distant at times, I know that God has a plan for me, and no matter what I do in this life, I must do it in a manner to glorify him.

I look forward to the stories, lying in wait, ready to unveil themselves in the coming weeks.
