In the spring of 2004, I signed up for a free account with Blogger and began my blogging journey. I have always had a burning desire to be a writer and blogging gave me an outlet and a platform to share my thoughts, ideas, and passions. I instantly fell in love with writing posts, sharing my thoughts, and engaging with others in the blogging community. I was able to connect with music writers, ministry leaders, friends, and thought-makers. I blogged about 2 years using that free account before I graduated to this self-hosted site at MichealFelker.com. This site gave me the freedom to make my blog exactly what I wanted it to be. Again, I fell in love with posting my thoughts and ideas and linking to articles and starting conversations and relationships.

Most of all I loved writing. Every day.

I developed a rhythm and a voice. I learned about myself, ministry, and developing/creating content.

Fast forward 5 years. Then my son was born. Then our family suffered through a miscarriage. Then our church entered into a season of transition. Then I transitioned from youth ministry to the role of lead minister.

Life got busy. Things changed. Schedules got shuffled. Making time to write and to develop my writing became harder and harder.

Reality is, I’ve been able to spend the last few years living life. And in my opinion, I live a great life.

I have a smokin’ hot wife who loves me unconditionally and supports me completely.
My son is pretty much the greatest kid on the planet.
I have a brand spanking new daughter who is beautiful.
I love my church and I absolutely love what I do.
I have a group of awesome friends.
Every day I’m given unlimited opportunities to succeed.

Life is good.

However, I miss writing and posting articles on my blog each day. There have been fits and starts over the last year or so, but nowhere near the consistency of the past or the vision I have for my writing life.

This summer, I am preaching a series based on the Book of Ephesians called Get Back. I’ve decided that it’s time to Get Back to blogging.

Over the course of the next 40 days my goal is to post 40 articles based on my favorite people, places, and things in an effort to be re-inspired and to get back in the groove of posting again on a daily basis.

Over the 40 days (Mon-Fri), I want to write about my life, my passions, my hopes, my dreams, and my core values.

I’m ready to get back to writing.
I’m ready to get back to sharing.
I’m ready to get back to Kicking at the Darkness.
