This morning is a typical hot, July morning in Florida, yet it is beautiful! This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Recently a childhood friend remarked to me that I was writing my novel out of my own pain. Truth be told, she was not far from correct. We all live our fears, failures, regrets, and generational curses in our minds until we take them to our Father God and allow Jesus Christ to heal our wounds and abolish our fears.
There are two signs hanging on my walls. Both where I can read them daily. One reads, "Thank you Jesus. This is your project. I am just your writer." Ina
The other reads, "I only write when I am inspired. Every day I make sure to inspire myself."
Writer's often drink, take drugs, or live their pain. I choose to take mine to him and allow healing with fresh revelations of my fears on a daily basis.
Life is not a thing! Life is a journey and what we accomplish is only measured by God in our accomplishments with people.
God's conviction is the strongest, when we are on the cusp of major life decisions. Waiting for prayers to be answered is never about us but about all of the people involved in the prayer's answer.
I realize that some of this novel, "Virginia's Baby", is difficult reading for some Christians, however the truths of life are not all pretty and painless.
My journey is one of truth and acceptance of God, and the healing of Jesus Christ. That may seem so easy and it can be if we are happy to sit in church and allow someone else to do our Bible reading and praying and suffering is always put behind us and on and on and on. I desire and want to travel the road He has placed me on with all of the glory being his because that is where my joy is. That is where I can touch and love and understand and care about others. I am not the only person dealing with pain, fear, acceptance, or even generational curses. I can understand and be there to help someone else since accomplishments are only those involving people.
Those who read this novel are in for a great blessing as the story continues to unfold! God bless each of you today and every day of your journey.
