Growing up I've always known I'd be a writer. I never really took it any seriously until three months ago when I started blogging on WordPress.
If you visit my blog, you'd realise that all my write-ups are centered around Christ. I blog because I believe I can preach Christ by using that platform. It's been my ardent prayer that God uses me as a vessel of honour to draw souls to Himself.
Not long after I began blogging, my good friend @anaman introduced me to steemit.
Trust me he's so passionate about this wonderful platform where you get to share your thoughts with the world and get paid for it.
Isn't it amazing?
That you get to do what you enjoy and earn some good cash from it?
I was quite impressed about steemit but my mind was not at ease.
I thought about the implications Steemit might have on my writing.
I mean, money makes the world go round and we all need some cash every now and then but what if I get addicted to the cash and forget the purpose?
I was a bit scared.
What if I start earning here and my interests shift?
Of course I could write about other things too but what if I start to post just any content here because I want to accumulate some cash?
I thought hard but saw no way forward.
Come to think of it this piece is not about a great debate society might want me to speak on.
But here I am, having this conversation with you and telling you the fuss that's going on in my head now.
It feels like I'm talking to a friend - a virtual friend who has taken time off his/her schedule to read what I have.
That gives me hope that I just might have something meaningful others might want to read. And though I might not be able to post every now and then, I hope to share my thoughts with you from time to time.
Thanks for reading and I will write to you when I can, as often as I can.
Enjoy your day.

Breaking the barrier to write my first post was one of the most difficult experienced that i did face. After my introductory, i felt like i was lost and had nothing more to share so i was basically reading what people have shared. By the time i realised i was blogging about my family. Since then i have never stopped. I realise that there is always something to say if you give it the chance but you need to work towards arranging it in a well ordered format. Sometimes you might be intimidated as to what oithers think about what you write. Dont worry, let them think, their votes will tell you their thoughts. Enjoy this platform with eases
thank for these encouraging words, i woud keep at it, till gradually I get a large audience for myself here
Wow I'm inspired. Thinking of using this platform to spread the gospel is a great idea. Thanks bro
that is our number one mission on this planet earth...
You should always blog on steemit.... U can also forget the rewards for later
sure, lets target 1 year.
project 2019 as 2018 Is almost over
i say just write. write and write and write and don't care for any rewards and payouts and then look up at the end of three months and see where you are, don't rely on it for just funds and just get into it. i've found that the people here are so helpful and ready to help out where they can.
very true, I would try one year and see what happens>
thanks for your comment

wow, really? this keeps getting better each time I come around
Everyone has a specific mission to accomplish in this world but the how, when, what and where to begin with becomes our nightmares. Spread the Gospel of Christ to the world through this platform and ask nothing in return for your good works will pay you dearly later. @jaynesquill.
I look at the greater reward, what awaits me after my life on earth.
keep stopping by for me of my works. u can check my blog too https://jaynesquill.wordpress.com/
