I used to have a blogging website oh so long ago, but I figured I'm a writer I like writing...why am I not still doing it?? Valid question if I do say so myself. So then I started thinking...why ever did I stop blogging in the first place? Haha, turns out I have no idea...I can even remember how to log into my old one.
So I love writing and I'd love to do it as a profession...I have 6 books in the works as of now (it could be more, I'm not totally sure). And they range in SO many different genres that I cannot contain them all to one.
One of the books that I'm the most proud of is not even completed yet. Its a book I've been working on since the death of one of my best friends in 2005. I've written so much rawness into that book. It takes SO much out of me to even write in it today, because as soon as I sit in front of a computer to type anything new, I have to go through and correct what I've already written. Lets just say, I've been tempted to break into tears many a time over the past. God has really used it to help me grow though. I guess I can't complain.
I believe God does things for a reason and that everything has a reason. God gave up the most in his life yet I and many other people I know are always thinking, God, wait to come back until..._________. You fill in the blank. There's always something that we want to happen before then...how selfish can we be?? God sent Jesus and we're all...gee, God thats great but uh, could you do this instead?
People who die or have died don't have a choice anymore. And we never know when we're going to die...why do we feel the need to tell God he can come back when its convenient for us?? If God waits for the WHOLE WORLD to be okay with him coming back it'll never happen. So I and many others need to start being ready for the fact that he IS going to come back when HE wants. Hmm...something to think about.
Well thats a lot for the first post and I don't even know if anyone'll read this...so until my next ramble....
God Bless,
Nicole Louise

ReplyDeleteHello Nikki,
ReplyDeleteI love your first posting on your blog spot. It is nice to see you finally getting back to what you seem gifted to do...Write. Keep it up and look for the avenues God wants to take you and your gifting down.
Love you,
Mom
You know what they always say, if you want to be a writer, write . . . write . . . WRITE! Even if it's grocery lists. I add this: read, read, READ! You don't need to know the rules of grammar so much as to have an ear for the sound of the written word (i.e., Shakespeare, Spurgeon, Psalms), for voices (Mark Twain, Bode Thoene), for cadence and pacing (Hemingway vs. Dickens). I'll be anxious to read your six books!
