Internal dialogue while starting this blog:
“I actually hate this”
“Why is this not intuitive?”
“Have I moved into the age of ‘crystalized intelligence’?”
“Is it worth it? Is this really worth it?”
“Am I not supposed to start this blog? What is the actual deal here?”
Okay so here I am…starting somewhere. Several months back I got the super *original* idea to start a blog! Nobody does that right? I’m always rambling on about…pretty much everything to every friend and family member that asks how it’s going, and I have reached a whole new era of creativity and problem solving since I became a mother in 2020—SO why haven’t I started blogging? Apparently because it’s ACTUALLY kind of technically difficult and maybe I would have thrown my computer at a wall if I would have started before now. I certainly expected setting up a blog to be intuitive….oh how I was wrong. But it’s a good segue into one of the many reasons why I am excited to write and share.
There’s this thing that I have noticed about personal growth…I experience the most growth during discomfort (UGH WHY?) I think this is probably a pretty common occurrence among the human race. Growth is good and necessary…so I’ve started asking the Lord to help me grow in the little moments of discomfort that I walk through in life, you know, like setting up a blog. My lens has shifted to allow me to appreciate small discomforts because if I’m growing spiritually through the small discomforts, then I will be so much more prepared for the larger ones. And the name…milestone minutes…I have a tendency to get hyper focused on the next big milestone…with my marriage, family, home, etc—when there is so much value in the minutes leading up to the big things; the small moments can be milestones too.
