I just finished reading the book Divergent and watching a
documentary at church on the life of CS Lewis (more on that in the future...maybe). My mind is ablaze in thought.
Electricity pulses through my veins. I can no longer ignore this feeling
inside. This urge in my soul is waiting to be fulfilled. I know now my destiny.
I need to write. I was born to write. I know that now. The best way I can
communicate and express emotion is through the written word. I have known this
deep down but tonight was the clincher. I have often written and often become
discouraged. I have left many a manuscript unfinished. I have left thoughts
half-formed. I know that I need to stick with it. God gave me this gift and I need
to use it for his Glory. My new goal is to better manage my time and write
every day whether that be a blog post, story-writing, letter to God, poem, or
other form of writing I just want to get my thoughts down. I want to become a
better writer and develop my own writer’s voice. I want to someday publish a
book, maybe a dozen books. Only God knows what’s in store. I just know that I need
to use the gifts God has given me to bless others and manifest his glory. This
gives me peace and resolution. May I carry it out henceforth!
We should be pen-pals! I love writing, especially letters, I write to one of my brothers a lot and I enjoy it very much, I'm always up for another pen pal. :) I think this is awesome btw. I was thinking about writing today, I've got a friend out here who's a writer, mostly poetry--anywho it's making me want to really expand my writing abilities/desires. So I'm hoping to explore that further.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you as you endeavor to use you passion and gifts for the Lord! Can't wait to read the results :)

Ya that sounds fun. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I haven't checked this blog in a while. I write poetry every once in a while but I don't rhyme and am not that good at it. Thank you, right back at you!
