Keep Writing, Documenting, Expressing.

I comment on a post by Jen Hatmaker on the refugee crisis with a caption to one of my Instagram pictures and the response was beautiful and encouraging. Comment after comment stating that I “so eloquently wrote” what was on their hearts, and even some where they wished we lived close by and could grab a cup of coffee together. (#Eeep!) It was shared multiple times and I received 7 or 8 friend requests.

Man, I was so encouraged that day. I hope to keep it as a reminder that the things on my heart are worth sharing, worth writing about, and worth starting a conversation over. Some days it’s lonely, and the response is silence, but that day in November – 623 people were helped and encouraged in some way by something that I had to get out.

And 623 people helped and encouraged me at the same time.
