Why I Write About Hope.

Why I Write.

It has been three months since I started blogging. I have actually consistently written a weekly post for three months!  Now, I know what you might be thinking…… “And the big deal about scribbling for three months is ………?” Well not much, except that I just conquered one of my personal fears. I shared my thoughts on an open platform (be it a very small platform) and I survived it. That’s the accomplishment.

Why do people feel audacious enough to share their written thoughts with the public? Well, people do it for different reasons. I think the reasons range from, “because I know I’m the world’s next best thing” to “I’m so unsure about everything, maybe writing will bring some clarity to this thing called life.” There are also those who do it as a ministry to others. Where ever you fall on that continuum, if you stick your head out and write down your thoughts for people to read, you will be judged and scrutinized by someone. And judgment is not something I don’t readily dive into.

For several months before I started writing, I wrestled with the whole idea. In fact I talked myself out of it many times. I had spectacular reasons why I wasn’t going to do it. The reasons had to do with English being my second language and more importantly, my fear of haters and trolls.

So why did I do it? I chose to write because my desire to encourage others with the message of hope became stronger than my fear of judgment or desire for self-protection. With a clear sense of purpose and my husband cheering me on, I became a hesitant writer.

Why I Write About Hope.

So why do I chose to write what I write? Because my personal story demonstrates that a hopeful outlook on life changes everything. I am living proof of that!

I write about hope because I know the spiraling emptiness of hopelessness.

I write about wholeness because I know the pain of brokenness.

I write about salvation because I know the emptiness of being lost.

I write about grace because I know the effects of a judgmental spirit.

I write about beauty because I don’t always feel beautiful.

I write about encouragement because I know the lows of a discouraged heart.

I write about fitness because I know the crippling effects of a sedentary life.

I write about healing because I’ve been to the dungeon of lingering illness.

I write about comfort because I have lost and grieved loved ones.

I write about blossoming because I know what it means to feel stuck.

And now, drum roll for the big audacious one:

I write about finding Joy in your marriage because I know happiness is illusive and it can disappear with changing winds. I also know marriage is hard work and it needs cultivation.

To my married friends, I have a special gift for you this week. It’s a two page booklet I wrote and entitled “Four pillars of a Joyful Marriage”  The four principles are based on observations and lessons learned from my counseling years and my own growth as a married woman.

I write, not as one who knows it all (because I don’t), but as a fellow sojourner who says “If you are struggling in this area, here is something that I know will help you. It worked for me and others. It will work for you, if you put in the work.”

The Take Away Lesson.

If you have a calling on your life, don’t talk yourself out of it. Do it afraid or hesitantly but go ahead and do it! I did it and I did more than survive. I’m flourishing in my purpose. In the three short months I have been writing, I have discovered:  It’s our vulnerabilities, insecurities and joys that have the power to connect us as human beings. Share your story, gifts and talents as imperfect as they may be. God gave them to you to bless other people.

A BIG thanks to those who read my posts and encourage me to carry on. I will continue to write as often as I have something worthwhile to say.

With that in mind, let me reintroduce myself:

My name is Bridget Wint. I am a Hope Strategist (Life Coach) and a Writer.  I help women to reignite hope, clarify their purpose and joyfully balance their personal care and key relationships.

I can help you develop clear strategies to flourish you (physically, emotionally and spiritually ), so you can thrive in your family and business life.

I’m currently working on two exciting projects. Watch this space for more details.

Blessings to you!

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Romans 5:5

You can find healing and hope after brokenness.
