I have had a passion for writing ever since I was in primary school. It is such a big part of my life, that I don’t know who I would be without it. I make up stories (no matter how silly and unrealistic they are), I write this blog, and I keep a gajillion journals. I feel like I can express myself more accurately when I write, so I usually write out everything I’m feeling or thinking (hints the gajillion journals).
God has given me the gift of writing for a reason. Whether that reason is to write a book, continue blogging, or use in my future job, I don’t know. All I know is that this is a special gift, one that I don’t take lightly. It is a gift that I only want to use it to glorify God.
For years, I have had ideas for books, but I’ve never been able to write them out. I would have all the ideas in my head, the names of the characters, and even the conclusion to the stories, but the words would never come. I could barely write a paragraph, let alone a chapter, so I gave up for a while.
I haven’t written a story in more than a year. A couple of months ago, I came up with a new story idea, but that fell through as well. I figured that I was only meant to have the ideas, but not be the writer of them, so instead of trying to write stories, I started this blog.
If I couldn’t write a story, surely I could write about my life. Turns out, I can, as you can tell with this website you are on right now. I love writing my weekly blog posts. For me, writing about everything that has been happening in my life is very therapeutic. I just pray that what I write encourages my readers.
It’s been a while since I’ve had the inspiration to write a story, but it reappeared last week, and I can still feel the inspiration stirring in my mind today! I’m just praying that I’ll finally be able to complete a story. I’ve already written the first page, which is huge for me, considering that I usually can’t write an opening sentence.
The story, so far, in my opinion, is quite original. I’d describe it all to you now, but then that would give it all away, or someone could read this and steal my idea, so for now I’m not going to tell you any details. Just know, that I am really encouraged by this new inspiration that God has given to me, I think it might actually stay this time! Please pray that I will be able to complete the story and maybe even turn it into a book!
