Blog Beginnings and Quiet Bravery

How did my first week of blogging go?

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. After I posted the first two blogs, the next day felt surreal—knowing that anyone could see them brought both excitement and anxiety. I prayed not to feel that way, but honestly, the feeling didn’t go away. At times, it felt like panic attacks. Between work and family responsibilities, I just had to keep pushing through, regardless of the emotions swirling in my mind.

Then, the next day, Cata said, “Hey, you have 3 likes and 44 views.” I hadn’t even checked. That little moment boosted my confidence. I’m grateful to be making even the smallest impact—across the U.S. and even in Europe. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read, view, and like my blog. I truly appreciate it!

And Cata—thank you. Your support, encouragement, and inspiration have meant everything. Thank you for reviewing each post, for your edits, and for believing in this with me from the beginning.

Lord,

Thank You for walking with me through each uncertain step. When fear rose, You stayed steady. When doubt whispered, Your truth remained. Thank You for the courage to begin, for the eyes that have seen these words, and for the hearts they may touch. Continue to guide this journey—may every post be rooted in love, humility, and a desire to glorify You.

Amen.
