I think this is something that I have forgotten. I used to write a lot of poetry, but for some reason I "put it on the shelf" and nothing had come from my pen in a very long time. Well, I met a lady who is struggling with some serious issues, and she wanted me to pray that the Lord would return her love of writing and words to her life. I asked her to pray the same thing for me. Two days ago, the Lord gave me a poem almost fully formed just for this lady and the group she is in as she recovers.
As I read these words to a group lastnight, I saw tears, smiles and heard soft "wow's" go through the group. They had understood my message and they knew that I supported them as they sought God's strength to get through some very tough situations. That poem was an answer to prayer in my life. I thank God for the words He allows us to form and share with others! I am so very, very thankful that there is a Christian fiction market filled with books that realistically look at the world through the lens of God's forgiveness and faithfulness!
I am so excited to have this place to share my words and thoughts with you! I look forward to reading together and sharing these wonderful stories and the messages of God's mighty work in our lives! Keep reading! Keep writing! And always trust God for answers!
