2017... a new year...new beginnings... new callings. For the past 2 years, I've been enjoying sweet time with God. He was very clear with His command to "come away and and rest with Me". So, I've been spending time with Him in ways I never experienced before. Already this year, His command to me has changed. He has been telling me "by faith...GO...OBEY". I see this as my marching orders. The last 2 years He has been getting my heart ready to share my story. This year He is wanting me to start writing. Now, that may sound like a worthy calling, but it's one that scares me. What if no one wants to read what I write? What if I'm a horrible writer? What if I never publish anything? What will people think of me after they read it? Then I heard someone say, "it's not about getting published, it's not about what people think, it's about the PROCESS of writing that God wants to teach me things".
So, my goal for this new year is to begin writing my story. It is going to be 10 years this November since Seth's death. This is going to be my way of honoring that special anniversary. This year I'm going to go back. Back to 2007 to the pain...to the memories...to God's faithfulness...to His fingerprints on my faith. I'm not kidding myself, it's going to be difficult at times I'm sure; but I am excited to see how He's going to make His presence known to me in new ways.
What He does with my story is His prerogative.....I will just, by faith...Go....and Obey.
I love this! I will read it!! I have had the same "orders" as of recent. God's story must be told, what a great way to do it! Through His servant and daughter....YOU! Many Blessings on this journey.
