When I see that others have written I am more inclined to write. There is something about words on a page whether typed or written that calls my name. I stumbled across a page of notes from the women’s conference in August. In the corner of this page I wrote a prayer, “Awaken the writer in me. Let me be Your oracle”. As I think back over the last several months I am reminded that I am becoming an oracle of God. I don’t want to simply write because I have the ability. I don’t desire to write so that people will follow my blog. I want to write because God desires to speak to and through me.
This week after speaking with my editor and getting the outline of Single and Anxious cleared I agreed to write 1000 words a day towards the book. The first two days I was in a zone. I woke up early on Saturday and Sunday. I spent 20-40 minutes after my devotional time writing. I learned a few things about myself during those two days.
- Waking up early is the best time for me write
- When I have an outline I flow better
- Writing helps me memorizes Scriptures and disgust them better
- Having a workspace increases my productivity
People have been asking about my writing and that keeps me on point. I write because I love it. I write because I am called. I write because I want to be a voice for our generation. It’s important that we all have clarity on why we do what we do. It’s important that we point people to Jesus. I am sure some get tired of me writing about Jesus but He’s been that good to me that He deserves the praise for everything I do. Why do you do what you?
