All my life I've been a writer. I actually wrote my first short story when I was in middle school. I just never followed through with it, because those nasty girls, who were supposed to be my friends, made fun of it. However, all my life I guess I've always known that I would be a writer for real if I ever grew up! The growing up part took longer than expected, but here I am!
Like everything else in my life, I have gone through much communication with God about this. I have reached out and talked with the other writers in my life, as well. I've been reading and studying my Bible and spiritual, God inspired authors. Then, a couple of weeks ago, as I was trying to find my next "great" book to read, God ever so gently, yet matter of factly, let me know it was time to stop reading and start writing. YIKES!!!!
Of course, my first thought was "do we seriously need ANOTHER Christian writer"? I mean, seriously, go into any book store - not even just Christian book stores either - and there are entire sections dedicated to Christian writers. Francis Chan, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Andy Andrews, CS Lewis ...... the list goes on and on. People who are much more qualified than I, I suppose. I had a serious Moses moment with God over a "who I am?"
I mean .... really .... stay at home Mom with a little bit of college ..... not much to go on, if you're on the outside looking, I guess.
BUT ..... here I am ..... at the beginning of a journey ..... out here on my faith ..... with nothing but that faith to stand on .....
Pretty solid ground!
