Prayer And Procrastination

Ground zero.

This is my study desk and the place I sat for so many hours as I worked to try to create the Love Pray Do website. A place of procrastination and prayer.

I am a storyteller, not a website creator, and for more than six months I allowed fear to still my progress; the domain name existed, the website landing page existed, and I had a Squarespace account. I had all I needed to bring you the Love Pray Do stories in one location, yet every time I logged on to the account I allowed fear to quash my creativity and fuel my flawed thinking … the script of my thoughts sounding something like this, “… you can’t learn how to do this, it won’t look professional, things won’t work on it, no-one will read it, you will fail …”

Faith requires you to step outside of your comfort zone, and I know there is always healing and growth with challenges. So two weeks ago I sat at this desk, and every time I felt overwhelmed, frustrated, fear, I prayed. I sought His strength and comfort, and with each hour that I worked over many days, I found my mind transformed and with it the experience of creating Love Pray Do. It became a joy, I celebrated each success, every ‘A-Ha!’ moment, seeing all the photos I had taken over the last year, the words crafted for interviews. So much joy and hope for what is to come, the people I will meet and the stories I will share.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me, enjoy my perfectly imperfect website, and watch this space as I look to Him for the next step outside of my comfort zone.

Love, pray and do,
