I want to write in every genre because I like to read from most genres. I want to learn about all sorts of things, so I’m going to want to write about them also. I want to go on adventures, see the world, experience so much more than just my small life. I want to show people how big the world is. I want to show people how great God is. I want to show the world how amazing it is to be a child of God’s.
I could not begin to list all the ideas I have for different books. YA books, kids books, adult books, fantasy books, real world books, humanitarian books, etc. If God has given me these ideas in just 24 years of life, imagine what He can do when I am able to go more places and do more things. One day, I am going to go to Africa and write a whole book about however long I am there. I want to go all over the world, and write about how God loves each part of it and what He is doing there.
But I don’t think I have been called to be a missionary. It would be too easy for me to keep moving on instead of building strong connections. Besides, I believe God has put me where I am for a reason. I don’t need to go to a foreign country to find people hungry for something more. I just need to go out to any public place for that. I want to live my life as a constant treasure hunt for who God wants to touch. I haven’t been very bold in that area of my life so far, but it is another thing that God has put in my heart.
That’s
another great thing about being a writer. I would have the ability to reach so
many people that I might never meet otherwise. When was the last time you were
deeply affected by words you read? I want to touch you with my words. I want to
tell you how amazing you are and how well equipped you already are to show God’s
love to the world. One day, I’d like to meet you face to face, but until I can,
hear me say it when I write.
I believe I
have something to say and that it is worth hearing. I believe that so many
people have so much more to say than what they do say. Just thinking about becoming
an author gives me a boldness that I want more of. It gives me confidence that
I am good at one thing, that I can encourage people in a little way, that I
might one day make a difference in this world. I don’t feel that very often.Maybe I’m not ready to come out and tell those that I do know that I want to be an author. Maybe I won’t have that courage until my first book is about to be published. But I do believe and trust that it will happen one day. Even if it doesn’t, there will be at least one friend who will hear my stories. She’s told me that she has loved it so far. I want to dream big though. I have a hope to hold onto and a new life spoken into me when I write.
Maybe you have been like me, silent and afraid to dream. Fear has no hold on your life unless you let it. God has such big plans for you. You were made for so much more than to disappear. God has made you beautiful. If you give your life to Him, He will make you full. When you are a child of God’s, you never have to wonder who you are. You are His. He loves you! He has been jealous for you and perusing you all of your life. The happiest moment of my life was when I finally totally gave all of my life to Jesus. He told me that I am more than enough. Every surrender I have given to Him since has been another happy moment. I know that He has good plans for me and will never leave me or forsake me. No matter where you are in your life, you are never too far gone to invite Jesus into your life. You are lovely in His eyes.
Oh, and I know I took the weekend off. I think I deserve a
few days to myself, don’t I. There will be those days that I’m too busy or
tired to free write on this blog. I hope you’ll still read. How many of you
have time to read a blog everyday anyway?
