Just a few more days left for the "write31days" challenge...and yes, I am going to miss writing every day. But, of course, I will not quit writing...
Perhaps... I will find another month-long challenge!
And, with that being said {written}, today's word is: Perhaps!
The "Webster's Student Dictionary" I keep near my computer defines "Perhaps" as...
Simply: "possibly or maybe"...
Actually, I like that word...
PERHAPS!
I use it a lot in my writing...leading the reader to reflect on what I have written and to share "possibilities" for where their reflections may lead.
Even the Bible uses the word; and gives us an example of how the written word can lead us to reflect on other things:

God has created me for something; perhaps...possibly...maybe...
It is what He has been leading me to all along!
Or...
I need to be diligent in what I am doing now because this is what His plans are for me!
Wow!! See where this word can lead us?
I'm not sure which version of the Bible this verse was taken from; and it may not use the word Perhaps in every version; but here it is found on this image, and fits perfectly in what I have been saying!
I love this quote I also found on pinterest, a possibility of where we may find our strength:
And another great quote from Alex Tan:

Not to forget good ole Charlie Brown with the possibility of the stars in the sky:

Perhaps...you have your own uses for this word! Share them with me in the comments!
This is Day 27 of "31 Days of Free Writes", linking up with Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday group. Check out all of my "Free Write" posts in this series here. For more information on the "Write31Days" challenge, click here.
Love your quotes! I've enjoyed reading your series. Perhaps my writing MOJO will return one day. Oh and perhaps my blog will come back. It is having trouble with the domain transfers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbie! We are writers; we WILL write! And, your MOJO WILL return! Sometimes, we just need to take a break for what we do and come back to it fresh! I don't see it as "perhaps" for you because that's a "maybe"!!! So, I feel FOR SURE that your blog will come back - eventually!! As for the domain transfers?! I'm not an expert on that and can't say if it's "perhaps", "maybe" or "for sure"!!!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting! Glad you are enjoying the series; I've enjoyed writing it!
I've always loved the word perhaps. Ripe with possibilities as it is!
ReplyDeleteYes, and I use it a lot, too!! Appreciate your reading and commenting..I am very behind in reading!
DeleteLove the quotes! I used to think of perhaps as a negative... like when your mom says perhaps you'll do something and you know she really means no. As an adult, though, perhaps has been such a positive! Perhaps I can be a writer. Perhaps I can meet all my bloggy buddies one day. Perhaps I can really lean into and live my giftings... I love perhaps!
ReplyDeleteYes, Shelby, like when my parents would say "maybe" to our requests...perhaps would have worked as well!! I do love using this word!!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting!
Charlie Brown! :) And that quote from Esther ---love it!
ReplyDeleteOf course, Charlie Brown!! And, yes, Esther! It's amazing what we can find on Pinterest...and to think I used to resist using it!
DeleteThanks, Tara, for reading and commenting.
I loved the quote from Esther too. I found a different picture of it. I see the duality of perhaps. Then I press forward knowing God has envisioned and even bigger "perhaps" than we can ever imagine. Thanks for sharing. Good luck on the rest of the challenge. Just four more days to go!
ReplyDeleteAlmost there, for sure, Mary! It's amazing what images I find on Pinterest; some of them I save more than one so when I publish my post I can use the one that hits me best!
DeleteAppreciate your reading and commenting!
It's a lovely word which has lots of creative promise that gives little peeks through doors into new worlds and opportunities. I didn't know that Charlie Brown quote - wonderful :).
ReplyDeleteLove what you said about this word; Perhaps! It IS a "lovely" word...our friend Helen uses that word "lovely" and I LOVE it, too!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting!
