Working on My Gifts
This has been a very low key week for me. I have not been able to do many outside activities. I have spent the week writing and editing. Even though it is a creative process, I am methodical in my approach. Each project reveals to me a little more about who I am and what I believe.
I am working on two new books and one old one. I like the possibilities of the new ones, and the perspective the old ones give me. I decided that if I am going to pray over things, I am going to work on things.
God gave me the gift of storytelling and over the years has allowed me to do it in various forms. Each project has its own story to tell. I pray that each story will impact the lives of the people who read them. I pray the stories will point them to God.
I try never to take this gift for granted. I know I can only do it through the one who gave it to me. God.
I did, of course, make time for bible study. The Book of Revelation is nothing like I thought it would be. It has been fun and revealing God in a new way.
It reminded me that God is not dead, He is surely alive. Living on the inside, roaring like a lion.
Upcoming Projects
All of the silence you hear is me working on several projects. I’m excited about them and can’t wait to share them with you. Some days I wonder where all of this comes from, other days, I know it can only come from God.
One of the projects is titled Caught in the Crosswinds. I love how projects evolve as I work on them. This one is turning out to be very different from my original concept. BUT all of my projects are influenced by my life, and while God is constantly shaping and molding me, it is reflected in my work. Crosswinds deals with issues that define who you are and what you believe.
For us A types, when we have a plan for life and are on course with that plan, a crosswind blowing us off course is detrimental. How we deal with these crosswinds determines how we get back on course.
In When You Forget Your Phone, I used verses that were personal to me. The Lord has taught me these verses over my lifetime. Memorizing God’s word allows Him to write it on your heart.
In the second book, Crosswinds, I examine Who God is to me, What He does for me, and What He wants from me. My journey is very different from yours, but God uses the words from the bible to lead me to and fro. I share stories that are fun and fabulous about my journey.
In the printed versions of each book there is art that also reflects the depth of the word. I hope to have the project published by Christmas. I will keep you updated.
Peace
Focusing On What We Do Best in 2013
2013 is going to be a year where I focus on what I do best: write. There are three projects in the works right now.
The first project is a book titled Connections. It is a crime drama. The second project is the book, Mutiny, the second story in the Privateers saga. The third project is a stage play titled Wicked and Redeemed: Women of the Bible.
In February FULL GROWN will be back in production. The first episode should be on YouTube around March.
Hopefully in March or April, I can do a staged reading of Wicked and Redeemed.
I will tell you more about each project over the next couple of months.
